Spotprent op de Schouwburgstrijd, ca. 1685, Bernard Picart (attributed to), 1716 - 1738 Canvas Print
Cartoon on the mismanagement of Joan Pluimer and Govert Bidloo, who were regents from 1679 to 1681, and from 1681 to 1687 tenants of the Amsterdam Theatre. In the middle is Pluimer with a feather on his head, a jar of drink in his hand and a winch under his arm. For him a servant with a pie in the shape of a deer. To his right a grey-haired man who raises a stick towards him. On the left in the foreground a sad personification of the Amsterdam Theatre with a beehive in her hand, to her left the muse Melpomene. On the right in the foreground, a deceased man (possibly the co-tenant Pieter de la Croix, who died in 1687) is robbed of his shroud by a man with a beret on his head and a money case under his arm (probably Bidloo). Audiences with donkey ears on walk through the dilapidated arch to the theater but are chased away by Apollo. Apollo stands in front of a gate with the portraits of Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, Joost van den Vondel and Gerbrand Adriaensz on the left, from top to bottom. Bredero. Behind it the satyr Marsyas tied to a tree. Completely in the background Pegasus on mount Parnassus.
