Shrovetide Joy Wreath and Play, 1720

Carnival wreath of joy and play. Central scene showing Cupido Pan (or Marsyas) learning to play the flute, with a naked nymph in the background. Here the scene is to be interpreted as John Law having removed his mask and being advised by the good spirit to abandon the wind trade. The nymph represents Mrs. Law. In a separately printed frame with small figures, musical instruments, and foodstuffs referring to Carnival. With various verses. Print (cut out and pasted in) in the bound first edition (304 B 11) of Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid with satirical prints on the Windhandel or Actiehandel of 1720.
