The present sheet is typical of his graphic works which are mainly executed on vellum. His compositions are very often humorous which have a satirical or allegorical reference, such as the drawing of the same date that shows "Death and Wealth sitting together at a Table" which is kept in the Kupferstichkabinett in Dresden. The present composition is most likely taken from the "Comedia dell'Arte". The figure types often reappear in his drawings, such as the standing lady can be also found in the drawing “Lady Playing a Lute with a Putto” formerly in the collection of Bernard Houthakker in Amsterdam while similar hooded figures are found in the drawing of a “A Man riding Piggy-back, others nearby”, dated 1643, which is in a private collection in Brussels.
