The print shows a street view of a city, divided into several compartments. Each of the compartments contains scenes of fornication. In the foreground on the left, a room is being shanked and drunk. The table is overturned and one of the men present vomits over another man. On the back left is a two-storey house. On the top floor a youth is being booed and on the bottom floor a loan is being paid off. In the street, a man on horseback rides past another man pulling up his trousers. The rider holds a handkerchief over his mouth. Behind them, three vagrants and two fighting beggars talk. A prison can be seen in the background on the right. In the far background, someone jumps from a balcony.
