About this work

Two scenes on an album leaf. On the left, a tailor who makes no new goods (lapsnijder). He scratches his head. In the background, a city view, possibly Leiden. On the right, his wife. In the distance, the woman is beating her husband with a stick. Below, two quatrains in Dutch. The print is part of an album.
