About this work
In the foreground a vain man, with a little devil on his head, who gives his money to the poor. He shows the bystanders how 'good' he is, and has this trumpeted by the man next to him. In the background to the left the Sermon on the Mount. Letters are placed next to various elements in the scene. The print is part of an album.
