The marriage scale, A rich young woman and a poorer young man are weighed on a scale by their parents. The side of the scale where the young man sits is pulled down by his mother, but the bride's side remains heavier. The man is not rich enough for the bride. Cupid, armed with a bow, casts a glance at the full money box and takes off. With caption of two four-line verses in Dutch and French., print maker: Pieter de Jode (I), (attributed to), Antwerp, c. 1590 - c. 1595, paper, engraving, height 199 cm × width 261 cm
