"Wonderlijke historie van den vogel & den visch."

Black ink, watercolour, 60,6 x 49,3 cm, laid paper, Dutch text.

Laid down on paper.

Curious large drawing consisting of 28 small scenes and objects mostly concerning eating and drinking, starting with a caught fish and an exotic bird, ending with a pierrot as an innkeeper and a tavern with sign "Vry wyn" and date "1699". The pinholes suggest a story in images to be hung up in a tavern, podium, house or school. Possibly a game or a popular song.
