La pobreza personificada: figura harapienta en un nicho de piedra

Una figura harapienta, con capucha oscura y una capa marrón rasgada, se encuentra de pie dentro de un nicho de piedra con arco, sosteniendo a la altura de la cintura un objeto con forma de anillo. Frente a un fondo azul salpicado de flores amarillas, la leyenda roja 'Pouvrete' en la parte inferior indica que el tema es la pobreza, pintada en un estilo vivo y coloreado a mano, recordando a los manuscritos medievales.
