About this work
On the left the poor parents, in the middle the rich, adult children with their children. The old father leans on a crutch and his clothes are torn, the mother has her hands folded. The parents beg the children for help. On the right a half-naked man with a large club. Below and above the image explanatory text in French, German and Dutch.
