Shadow side of the era of the Sun King, 1657
A court usher (far right) pushes the poor from the human community into the poorhouse. There is a caption for each person depicted: e.g. the child in front right: The children are the wealth of the poor'. The depiction is characteristic of the 2nd half of the 17th century and is an indictment of the misery of the population
