About this work

The wicked servant, who had buried his talent, is bound hand and foot and placed in a dark dungeon. At the bottom of the stairs stands his master, giving the order to throw him into the dungeon. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Matthew 25:30. This print is part of an album.
