Woman with Mirror and Jester: Satire on the Expensive Ruff Collar, ca. 1600

Satirical print on vanity, shown in luxurious clothing. An elegantly dressed woman, half-length, is dressed in a gown with a wide pleated collar: a sign of status and wealth. As jewelry, she wears earrings, a ring, and bracelets. Looking into the hand mirror, she sees not only her own reflection but also the head of the jester standing behind her. On the jester's shoulder sits a cat showing its rear end, holding a marotte in its right hand. The jester speaks the text that can be read at the top: Sie hoe Marotteken en icke zeer wel ghelycken / Dus keert u eens omme, wit in onsen spieghel kycken.
