This engraving is one of a series by Sebald Beham know as "The Peasants' Feast" or "The Twelve Months". The peasants depicted have names based on the twelve months of the year. This particular scene shows January and February, and includes two couples dancing towards the left of the scene (as would be appropriate and usual in medieval winter festivities).
