| Description | The large center image depicts two sisters, one shielded from temptation by an angel of virtue and one tempted by the devil. The smaller images around the outside show the two alternate paths of the young women, beginning at the bottom of the painting. Moving in a clockwise direction from the bottom is the life of the virtuous woman, complete with being wooed (properly) by a squire, marrying with her parents permission and raising a family. Moving in a counter-clockwise direction are images from the life of the other sister, the one who ran away with the dashing knight in shining armor, bore his child out of wedlock, was abandoned by him, and then hung herself. Yep, a somewhat heavy-handed moral to this story! |
