About this work

The misleyden: the Ambassador of the Labberlotten presents himself at the window of the inn 't Bokki in the Haarlemmerhout (a prank played by Jacob Campo Weyerman and associates). A group of people looks at the rear end of a man, painted as a face, sticking out of the inn's window. On both sides, two trumpeters with black-painted faces. In front of the inn sit a man and woman dressed in black, looking seriously. Stands before the letter.
