About this work
Sinful youths play, together with devils, with the attributes of the personification Opportunity (Occasio). One of the youths puts a mask on Opportunity. In the background, the angel of Faith. Above, God looks on. The print has a Latin legend and is part of a twelve-part series on seizing opportunities.
