Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man

An engraving shows a dying rich man in a canopied bed, attended by a devil at left beside a chest of coins, while a beggar and dogs wait at right near a doorway. A Latin inscription names Dives, the feaster, and says he dies this day; burin lines model the bed hangings, figures, and street beyond.
