Van Ostade was born in 1610 in Haarlem, where he later became a pupil of the renowned painter Frans Hals.

His use of light and shadow adds depth and a sense of realism, drawing viewers into the convivial world he depicts.

The composition of "Merrymakers" reflects Van Ostade's skill in arranging multiple figures in a cohesive and dynamic manner.
