About this work
The workers receive after their work in the vineyard the wage of one denarius from the steward of the landlord. At the top of the facade medallions showing how the landlord hires workers both in the morning and at three o'clock, six o'clock and nine o'clock. The times can be read from the position of the sun on the horizon. The steward gives every worker the same amount of money. Letters stand next to various elements of the scene. Above the image a title. Below it six lines of verse and a reference to Matthew 20: 1-8. The print is part of an album.
