About this work
The king's messenger comes to the second guest and invites him to the wedding feast. The guest excuses himself on the pretext that he has bought a new herd of cattle. The man points to the herd in the background. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a six-part series on the parable of the wedding feast.
