About this work
Two merchants negotiating with each other at a city wall; Lies and Deceit are interfering. Behind them sits a blindfolded notary writing. In the background a harbor. Extensive caption in Dutch, German and Latin. This print is part of a series of eight prints on greed, deceit and litigation.
