About this work
A man who has climbed into an apple tree threatens to fall from the tree. Two rats gnaw at the tree trunk, causing it to almost collapse. Four snakes threaten the man on the ground. The man hangs over a flaming fire, with a dragon in it. In the background on land stands a bear. Depiction of all dangers in human life.
