"Peasants Drinking and Merrymaking" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Richard Brakenburgh (1650–1702). This artwork, created in 1685, is an exemplar of the lively and often moralizing scenes for which Brakenburgh was known. The painting depicts a group of peasants engaging in jovial festivities, a common theme that reflects the Dutch taste for scenes of everyday life during the 17th century.

In the painting, Brakenburgh illustrates a rustic gathering where the figures are shown drinking, playing music, and enjoying each other's company. The scene is imbued with a sense of movement and revelry, capturing the exuberance of peasant life while also hinting at the excesses and follies of such indulgences. The artist's attention to detail in the expressions and postures of the peasants contributes to the narrative quality of the work.

Richard Brakenburgh's style was influenced by the Haarlem school of painting and he was particularly inspired by the works of Adriaen van Ostade, a master in portraying peasant scenes. Brakenburgh's use of light, color, and composition demonstrates his skill in creating a lively atmosphere that invites viewers to contemplate the social customs of the time.

"Peasants Drinking and Merrymaking" is held in high regard for its historical and cultural significance, offering insight into the genre painting tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. The artwork serves as a valuable piece of social commentary, reflecting the values, humor, and daily life of the period. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Richard Brakenburgh, showcasing his ability to blend entertainment with a subtle critique of human behavior.
