Description
The subject, taken from the Gospel of Saint Luke (16:19–31), is the parable of the rich man and the poor beggar called Lazarus. Here we see the rich man dining sumptuously, while the begger is sent on his way. In the biblical story, the rich man gets his payback after both have died, and are suffering in Hades: he sees Lazarus near some water, and asks him to moisten his parched lips for him, but is told that just as he refused the beggar food in life, so his own request for water would be denied.
The drawing was perhaps made as the design for one of a series of stained glass roundels or prints illustrating the parables.
