Image Title: The Sins of Others
Description: This image depicts three scenes of abetting the sins of others. In the foreground, two boys fight while a group of boys cheer them on and an old man watches. In the background, one man holds an animal while the other slaughters it and to their right, one man distracts a shopkeeper while the other makes off with stolen goods. The Latin superscription reads, "Could I change another's sins," and the text below, "Can one, drawing guilt from another, invite reproach? By agreeing with the author of the sin, by befriending evil.".
