About this work
The pride of the woman: satirical print on the 'ruff', ca. 1600. In a room, a woman sits on a chair, dressed according to the fashion of ca. 1600-1620. The wide pleated collar is stiffened by a devilish figure with a beehive on its head. To the left in the room, two monsters are busy stiffening collars that they hang on sticks against the wall. To the right, an elegantly dressed gentleman. In the doorway, Death in the guise of a skeleton with a scythe. With explanatory texts in the scene and an inscription of two lines in French and Dutch.
