About this work
The sacrament of confession: a priest sits in a confessional and listens to the confession of a kneeling woman, who has a chain around her waist held by a devil. To the left, a young man who has just confessed walks away from the confessional, hands folded, eyes raised to heaven. An angel walks beside him, arm around his shoulder. Title in two languages below the image. The scene is framed by an ornamental border.
