- A Flemish or Dutch drawing of a female saint in a Poor Clare habit and with a crown of thorns (probably Catherine of Siena) kneeling before a crucifix, arms crossed over her chest, as she resists the temptation of riches, power, and pleasure. Riches are represented by three well-dressed men on the left offering her treasure, including an open chest filled with coins and valuables.

In the clouds on the right above the musicians, the triumph of faith over temptation is represented as the grim reaper with a scythe cutting down three kings whose crowns topple from their heads
