About this work

A servant of the king, holding a wind instrument, comes to the second guest and invites him to the wedding feast. The guest excuses himself, saying he has just bought five yoke of oxen that he must inspect. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Luke 14. This print is part of an album.
