Description: A woman holding an extinguished torch kneels between two quarrelling men quarrel, each with a demon at his elbow; in a loft an extinguished candle sits on a table. The Latin superscription reads, "Contentiousness extinguishes charity," and the text below, "Would it be a small matter if I also quelled harsh words by words? From this source, wind arises and from that, the torch of love smokes.".
