About this work
The personification of Poverty (Pauperies), dressed in rags, sits in a winter landscape on a chair made of tree branches and straw. Behind her a wretched little house. At her feet sits Humility (Humilitas): a girl with a shepherd's staff and a split heart in her hands. To the left in the background a poor village and beggars. The print has a Latin inscription and is part of a series on the cycle of human action.
