Summary
Print shows a domestic interior with Prussia standing by the door as a group of women and children enter the room at right; he pays his addresses to a young woman who gives him her hand as Holstein stands behind him at left, his arms laden with a valise and umbrellas as he reels back in astonishment at the scene.
