Credit line:
The painting is based on the right-inside panel of ˜The Garden of Earthly Delight' in the Prado in Madrid. The composition is similar to the painting which was auctioned by Palais Dorotheum in Vienna in 2016, with the exception of the two big figures above and lower-middle, which later have been added. This could be Dives, the rich man in hell and the poor Lazarus in Abraham's bosom
