A rare anonymous engraving after a design by Maarten de Vos. A young man can be seen dancing around an egg to the cheerful tunes of a bagpipe player and some fools dressed as musicians. A nobleman and his lady behold the scene from the background. The letter D at the lower right corner suggests that the print was part of a larger series.
