Shrove Tuesday Joy Wreath and Play, 1720

Carnival wreath and play. Central scene in which Cupido Pan (or Marsyas) is taught to play the flute, with a naked nymph in the background. Here the scene must be interpreted as John Law having removed his mask and being advised by the good spirit to abandon the wind trade. The nymph must then represent Mrs. Law. In a separately printed frame with small people, musical instruments, and foods referring to Carnival. With various verses. Print 62 in the series Het Groote Tafereel der Dwaasheid with satirical prints on the Wind Trade or Share Trading of 1720.
