A man and woman, both richly dressed and accompanied by a dog, are looking at a table with a writhing eel on it from which the head has been chopped off. A hand with a chopping knife is sticking out of a cloud. In the background a cityscape with market hall and water pump. On the four corners a vignette: above two images with Adam and Eve, in the lower left a woman with a greybeard and a boy and in the lower right a man cringeing for a lightning bolt. Below the print in letterpress verses in Latin, above the title of the emblem, Man and woman at fish market Quod perdidit, optat, print maker
