People ruined by the Dutch financial crisis of 1720 enter the city of Vianen. Etching, 1720.

On the right is a view of the city of Vianen approached through a tollgate. The poorhouse (armhuis) is prominent, as are people sitting outside an inn drinking a toast to the health of the newcomers in "stock wine". A newcomer who has just arrived is being asked if he has any money, and says he does have some under his cloak. In the centre three men approach the gate: a fool, a madman (about to kill himself) and a beggar with a wooden leg. On the left, a throne on which a trading company director accompanied by devil-like creatures issues stock certificates, and in the foreground King Midas hands out money. In the background, the river Lek with river traffic and a postchaise on the far bank: the river is inscribed "Vaart naar Vianen", or waterway to Vianen (i.e. route to bankruptcy)
