About this work

Sheet with two scenes. On the left: A man sits on the ground in a dark room. He bends over a pile of stones. Possibly an allegorical representation of greed. On the right: A gigantic figure with a collection of standing, sitting, and lying people on his lap and at his feet, possibly representing the devil and the seven deadly sins.
