This anonymous woodcut print from the Rijksmuseum, titled "Afbeeldingh hoe seven wyven vechten om een mans broeck ende de vrou de broeck aentrecht", features a series of five vignettes depicting a humorous domestic scene. The image is likely from the 17th or 18th century, and the text below each image narrates the story, making the work an example of a broadside. The title translates to "Picture of how seven women fight over a man's pants and the wife puts the pants on," suggesting the work is satirical, potentially commenting on gender roles and marital dynamics during the era.
