About this work

A boy, with pen and paper on his lap, is flanked by figures from hell and heaven. To his left stand figures representing death and hell such as a skeleton with a scythe, Chronos with an hourglass, and a devil. To his right an angel whispers something in the boy's ear. Next to the angel stand a man, woman, and child with books, and a knight with a pamphlet.
