About this work
In a forehall, a man sits on a throne with a book on a lectern beside him. At his feet, a group of people partake in a meal. Servants are approaching. In the background, construction work is underway outside: sowing, plowing, and building are visible. In the lower margin, the text of Ecclesiastes 10:17 in Latin. The print is part of an album.
