About this work
In the foreground two men are fighting each other. In the background men are also fighting. Two lions and two bears sit peacefully next to each other. Animals never fight their own kind, but man quickly reaches for weapons to destroy his own kind. Below the image a verse in Latin and a Dutch and French caption in book type. This print is part of an album.
