Juerguistas en el martes de Carnaval

ca. 1616–17
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 637
Por su colorido, pincelada y densa composición, esta importante obra de juventud de Frans Hals recuerda las pinturas de la misma época del artista flamenco Jacob Jordaens. El tema es Vastenavond (martes de carnaval), fiesta anterior a la cuaresma famosa por la conducta licenciosa de sus participantes. Dos personajes del teatro cómico, Peeckelhaering (Arenque en Escabeche) y Hans Wurst (Juan Salchicha), vestidos con las viandas alusivas a sus nombres, flirtean con una joven «dama» de cuello corto y grueso, tocada con una corona de laurel, que es en realidad un hombre disfrazado.
