To his right an old man raises a stick towards him. In the left foreground a sad personification of the Amsterdam Theater with a beehive in her hand, to her left the muse Melpomene. In the right foreground, a deceased man (possibly the co-tenant Pieter de la Croix, who died in 1687) is robbed of his pall by a man with a beret on his head and a money box under his arm (probably Bidloo).
