Description
A Spanish feast; on the left a courtesan is embracing a man and at the same time robbing his purse; on the right, at the end of the table, a man pokes fingers into his inflated cheeks with a youth looking up at him between his legs; an old man, seated between two women, sticks his tongue out; behind two women dance. 1545 Etching
