Subject: Antique print, titled: '2. Gissen doet Missen.' - ('Trial breeds Error'). A man passes a painter's workshop with his dog. He points at one of the two displayed paintings, probably (given the text) disputing the authenticity of the painting. The master and a servant have come outside to answer the query. This emblem means that one should only act with knowledge and never from ignorance.
