The painting on which this print is based (in reversed image) is in the collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuingen. A young woman sits spinning in a wood. At her bare feet sits a young man with a hat holding a small recorder. It is difficult to tell who is being indiscreet here. It seems as if the young man is about to look up her dress, but his eyes are still focused on his
instrument.
