Description: Having been asked for 600 ducats, the governor, getting up, lays hold of the chair he sat on, and waves it aggressively above his head, threatening to bring it down upon the peasant who has entered his presence. The peasant, having taken a step backwards in fear, covers his head from the blow with his left hand, meanwhile his hat has fallen to the foreground. In the background sits a clothed table and behind that three men, one of them being the sewer.
