Légende

Scene depicting works of mercy which the Roman Catholic Church considered as expectations to be fulfilled by believers. Men, women and children stand begging before a man pictured behind a table stacked full of bread; he hands out the food to the poor. Further scenes of mercy can be seen throughout the painting; in the street men and women offer to help the poor and sick. A church can be seen in the far background.
