The woman, likely accompanied by her husband, fell from his horse and actually read the lines of the hand by a man in rags. Around them, men, women and children rest, some around a fire over which cooked poultry, others along the sentier.Le term "Gypsies", which gives its name to the table, designated the Orientals from India, traveling mainly in the Netherlands and France at the beginning of the fifteenth century. They are found repeatedly in the painting of the seventeenth century, since they are an opportunity for artists to represent begging scene by the fire, or reading the good aventure.Wouwerman develops here a rich palette, including the use of the bright blue sky in the corner, top left. The yellow lady dress and red cape jumper are also bright color accents amid brown tones so characteristic of the painter. A drawing Leonaert Bramer (private collection) resumed the composition of this painting.
