Image Title: The Ant's Industry

Description: A woman holds a spindle and points to a group of diligent insects beside a tree, under which a man sleeps. In the background, another man sleeps on a shovel, while a demon crawls on his back. Beside him a man skewers a heart on a sword, while in the background stands a gallows. The Latin superscription reads, "Go to the ant, O sluggard, and learn wisdom," and the text below, "By what art will the sluggard shake off torpid laziness? The little ants might by their example of great labor.".
