Avarice, the danger of wealth

In the foreground on the left Riches (Divitiae), surrounded by money chests and stock goods. Dressed as a merchant, he holds a money bag in his right hand, which he offers to a woman and her family. On the right in the foreground Greed (Avaritia). She is dressed as an old woman and buries her treasures under a tree. In the background on the left the construction of a house with diligent workers everywhere. On the right a slum with beggars. The print has an inscription in Dutch, Latin and French in verses. The verses praise riches as the use of God's gifts, but condemn greed as a heavy sin. Subject headings within the Atlas Zeden en Gewoonten: Poverty and Charity.
