About this work
An old woman sits with her feet on a stove, an open money chest beside her. She shows her money to a young man standing in front of her and tries to seduce him with a few coins in her lap. In the verse below the image the man's position is explained. He accepts the old woman's offer to then use the money to trap a young woman.
