About this work
The personification of Poverty leads the way, followed by a chained prisoner and someone who throws himself into his own sword. In the background a burning castle, a man falling from a rock and a man drowning in the river. Below the image a verse in Latin and a Dutch and French caption in book type. This print is part of an album.
