Illustration of the Other Parable, 1582. A man climbs a ladder leaning against a golden fruit tree with a crown encircling its root. The scene takes place within an ornate frame, and in the foreground are women bathing, apparently watched from a balcony above by a king and others. From "Splendor solis" (The splendour of the sun).
