Description
A satirical image of a rowdy crowd engaged in debauched behaviour. The crowd is situated in an alcove; the image is divided into those in shade and those in sunlight. The main crowd (centre left) appears to be involved in a drinking game. They are surrounded by religious men wearing robes and naked emaciated and collapsed figures surrounding them. There is a figure standing with his arms out being inspected by others, with a crucified figure affixed to a cross on the internal edge of an arch (right), with a baby at their feet.
