Adspectus Incauti Dispendium (Sight of a Person Heedless of the Costs)

An anthropomorphic house in the shape of a face fills the foreground of the image. Its eyes are windows, their shutters lifted. Its right ear is another window; its mouth is a doorway; its hair is a thatched roof. The house’s owner uses a pole to lift one of the shutters, and the skeletal figure of death, a bag hanging from his shoulders, climbs a ladder to sneak into the home and rob it. Four figures appear in the landscape behind the house: at left, Eve holding the apple plucked from the Tree of Forbidden Knowledge; at right, Dinah, daughter of the biblical patriarch Jacob; and in the distance, King David spying on Bathsheba at her bath.
