The seated man of substance appears to be beckoning the standing guy with the big flower to give him the money and the lady looks ready to snatch it before the seated guy can grasp it.

Judging by the lady's collar, I think it must date from the second half of the 16th century. <br /><br />If, as I suspect, it's a sort of 'narative' piece, what's the story it's telling ??
