A black and white print of a town street. A man runs with arms raised, pursued by two women holding brooms. Other figures observe from balconies, stairs, and doorways. Two small dogs run in the street. French text below reads: "Il deuient le iouet des impudiques femmes / Apres s'estre Saoulé de ses plaisirs infames. / Cum privilege Reg. Israel excu":
