Landscape scene depicting a social meeting of peasants surrounding a burnt tree trunk, which stands to the right of a small, thatched cottage. Behind the congregation there is an atmospheric expanse of sky, feauturing white clouds which lie towards the bottom of the painting, indicating that the cottage is on a high hill. The peasants engage in frivolous pursuits such as climbing and petting animals.
