Het album bevat 50 portretten van met name vreemdgaande vrouwen, die met initialen aangeduid worden. De vrouwen waren afkomstig uit Nederland, Engeland en het mediterrane gebied. De boodschap van Van de Passe is duidelijk: overspel is voor goddelozen en wordt ten strengste ontraden. Het is echter de vraag of zijn lezers hiervan onder de indruk waren.
The image of young women at play, in association with water and the fruiting of trees, such as this mango, has been used in Indian art to signal the idea of prosperity and abundance. Rain clouds approach that will nourish the land. The pairs of women on the banks sample perfumes, and in front of them bowls made of leaves appear to hold jasmine flowers for adorning the hair. One woman smokes a hookah and looks on as two companions frolic in the rivulet. The palace’s white marble buildings are barely indicated in the far distance.
