About this work

'De misleyden': the ambassador of the Labberlotten presents himself at the window of the inn 't Bokki ('t Bokje) in the Haarlemmerhout (a prank played by Jacob Campo Weyerman and associates in 1739). A group of people looks at the rear painted as a face, sticking out of the window of the inn. On either side two trumpeters with black-painted faces. In front of the inn sit two Quakers, a man and a woman dressed in black, holding Bibles.
