The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things, between 1505 and 1510. Anger or wrath is depicted in the form of a drunken brawl outside a tavern. Moving anticlockwise, the next segment represents Pride, as a woman preening herself in a mirror held up by a devil. Lust shows two courtly couples dallying in a tent, with entertainment provided by a jester. Sloth is personified by a man asleep by the fire, unwilling to devote himself to prayer. The family embodying Gluttony gorge themselves with food and drink. Greed is conveyed by a magistrate accepting a bribe, and in Envy a couple clearly covet the falcon being shown off by a rich man, whilst two dogs fight over a bone.
