A scene with cavorting couples before a banquet, contained in a circle at center. At right, a couple with the man holding a knife walks left before a lute player. At lower left, a seated couple with the woman playing the lute. Around the central circle, ornamental floral designs with grotesque rabbits emerging from scrolling tendrils at upper and lower left corners. The scene in the circle is a reverse copy after a print by Jan Sadeler, after Maarten de Vos (Hollstein 558).
