About this work
A group of figures, boys and drunk men, walk in a procession through the city. They are strangely dressed and carry a woodcutter's coat of arms. This round, which took place in 1608, recalled the bygone tradition where patients from the so-called Leprosy House went around together during the Fair and collected money.
