The bustling crowd, the festive atmosphere, and the intricate details of the buildings and costumes reflect the vibrancy and communal spirit of 17th-century Delft. The use of torchlight as the primary source of illumination adds a layer of drama and intimacy to the scene, drawing viewers into the heart of the celebration.
