About this work
Satire on the literary gatherings of the rhetoricians. The lozenge-shaped blazon under the window refers to this; normally this shield would bear the arms of the rhetoricians. The wine jug can also be associated with them, as wine brought inspiration for their activities. This print is part of an album.
