The Elderly Fool and his Cat


Engraving made by Alexander Voet II in about 1660 or thereabouts (after Jacob Jordaens). The image is from the British Museum. The title in the cartouche below the jester-fool says: 'FATVO RIDEMVR IN VNO' [We all laughed through this one fool].
Found at BibliOdyssey, via Uncertain Times.
