About this work
The naked female personification of Lust or Unchastity (Luxuria) copulates with a monster in a hollow tree. On the back of the chair stands a rooster. All around are various fantastic scenes and creatures with which this deadly sin is depicted. On the left in the background a garden of pleasures. With an inscription of one line in Latin and one line in Dutch.
