About this work

The king gives a wedding feast for his son. In the wedding hall both good and bad people are sitting. The king sent his servants out to invite the wedding guests, but they did not want to come. In the background it can be seen that some people murdered the servants. The city of the murderers was then set on fire. Letters stand next to various elements in the scene corresponding to the legend in the margin.
