This etching, titled "Floras Narrehue (Floraes Gecks-kap)", was created in 1637 by Pieter Nolpe. The print depicts a satirical scene, likely alluding to the Dutch Golden Age, with a large jester's cap (representing "Flora") covering a group of figures, with a second group looking on in the background. The work is a testament to the popularity of satirical prints in the 17th century, offering a commentary on societal follies and the human condition. This piece is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and measures 413 mm in height and 527 mm in width.
