About this work
The king gives a wedding feast for his son. He sends his servants out to invite the wedding guests, but they do not want to come. In the background it can be seen that some people murder the servants. The city of the murderers is then set on fire. In the margin three Bible quotes, in three columns, from Isa. 38, Matt. 22 and Matt. 23 in Latin.
