About this work

A man on his deathbed, surrounded by his sins in the form of various vices, Lady World and devils. An angel points the dying man to the Grace of God. At the bottom of the sheet just the top of some large printed letters (of a book title?) can be seen. The print has nothing to do with the Wind Trade of 1720 but is added to the group of supplementary prints added to the series "Tafereel der Dwaasheid" with satirical prints on the Wind Trade or Share Trade of 1720.
