About this work
A youth stands before a gate. To the left Divine Wisdom, with the gospel and a censer. To the right Lady World on a globe (the precarious lot). Both women try to convince him to follow their way. To the left a narrow path after a steep climb leads to heaven. To the right the broad way leads to hell.
