About this work

Prime Minister Abraham Kuyper as judge and lawyer in a criminal case against two ministers (Melvil van Lynden and Bergansius?) who, from the Calvinist perspective of the prosecutor Voetius, danced too lightly and unchastely at the gala ball. The ministers must demonstrate to the judge how they danced.
