About this work

Quote: VT IMPROBO, ET STVLTO, ET INERTI NEMINI BENE ESSE POTEST in a cartouche. At the bottom left and right a man lies on his knees, his upper body trapped in scrollwork. Upon him sits a child beating the man's buttocks with sticks. Hatched background. From a series of a title page and 12 sheets with cartouches containing quotes from classical authors in a frame of scrollwork with grotesques, mascarons, and garlands.
