About this work
A young woman stands between an old man offering her money and a young man on whom she leans. She wears a bow cap on her head, a wide pleated collar and a cloak with shoulder wings. The old man grabs her and points to the full money chest on the table and his stick purse. He wears a bunch of keys at his belt. With a four-line Latin text and an eight-line poem in Dutch.
