About this work
Landscape with hunters washing their faces with water. In the background the monkeys try to imitate the hunters and wash themselves. The hunters have however mixed this water with birdlime, so that the monkeys become blind and helpless after washing. The hunters beat the helpless monkeys to death with clubs. Text in Latin in the lower margin.
