Español: Pueblo flamenco con un titiritero y un pequeño público

Una calle concurrida de un pueblo bajo un cielo sombrío, con una torre de iglesia tras casas de ladrillo y una cabaña de madera a la izquierda. Pequeños grupos de figuras con vestidos coloridos se reúnen, bailan y deambulan cerca de un carruaje tirado por caballos, mientras un perro recorre el primer plano.
