Author: David, Jan, 1545?-1613
Image Title: Slavery to the World
Description: A man hangs from a gallows, while a woman with a crown and an orb on her head flees and women drive out a young man with brooms and sticks; a man in a boat, a man selling his wares to a crowd and a beggar tripping are visible in the background. The Latin superscription reads, "Who most serves the world is most cheated by it," and the text below, "Who repeatedly swallows the gilded hook of the world? Who sells all of his zeal to servitude.".
