About this work

A decorative composition consisting of three panels with strapwork. On the left, a woman with a bird in her right hand and a spear in her left hand. On either side, a bird and below, two monkeys beating ram heads with clubs. In the center, a couple in elaborate clothing under a parasol held up by a servant for them. Below, a number of musicians. On the right, a female figure on a swing with a dancing tambourine player below. At the bottom, a medallion with a portrait with two griffins below. The print is part of an album. Most likely a mirrored copy after a French original.
