About this work
Three men before a fireplace. One man stands with his hands in his hair, the second man prays, the third man sits at a table and shakes out his purse as a sign that it is empty. A woman and a boy bite on a bone. A little dog barks and looks jealously at the bone. Below the image an explanatory Latin verse by Franco Estius.
