Shrovetide Joy Wreath and Play, 1720

Shrovetide Joy Wreath and Play. Central scene where Cupido Pan (or Marsyas) learns to play the flute, with a naked nymph in the background. Here the scene should be interpreted as John Law having removed his mask and being advised by a good spirit to abandon the wind trade. The nymph represents Mrs. Law. In a separately printed frame with small figures, musical instruments, and foods referring to Shrovetide. Various verses. Print in the bound fourth edition (304 B 12) of Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid with satirical prints on the Windhandel or Actiehandel of 1720.
