Image Title: Disciplining Children

Description: In the foreground, a mother and father attempt to rescue their child from being carried off by a winged demon, while in the background, a school master threatens his charges with a switch and Moses parts the Red Sea. Above, a demon flies through the air, carrying a child. The Latin superscription reads, "Who does not chastise a son, sacrifices him to Orcus," and the text below, "What do elders do, who never have a disciplining staff? The recompense for such rearing is feeding the flames of Tartarus with their offspring.".
