In the background, a landscape with figures and Laban's livestock. The print is part of a series on the Ten Commandments and depicts a violation of the tenth commandment: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods. A reference to the biblical text in Latin appears in the lower margin. The print is part of an album.
