About this work

The winged personification of Religion tramples Death, depicted as a skeleton. Religion wears a torn garment and holds an open book in her hand. She leans on a cross from which a bridle hangs. In the margin, a ten-line poem in Latin and poems in French and German explaining the allegory.
