Summary
He stands full length, turned to right, and wears a dark, conical, wide-brimmed hat and a wide, shallow, pleated ruff. At his back is a sabre, and a knife is stuck into his jacket. On right is the rival, whom he threatens to beat, walking with the faithless mistress. --Pennington.
Note
Title from first of four lines of verse inscribed in plate beneath image. Verse translates as: Fritz has a feather in his hat / I'll buy one too / and if he doesn't leave my Gretle alone / he'll have to fight with me.
