A man influenced by the devil to deprive his three daughters of an adequate dowry so that they must stay at home clothmaking. Engraving by T. Galle after J. Stradanus (Van der Straet), ca. 1600. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
The father sits on a Savonarola chair, resting his head in his hands. The devil behind him speaks into his ear. In the foreground his three daughters sit working cloth: one winds the thread, another has a wooden instrument and some bobbins, a third cuts cloth with scissors. In the right background a young man with a halo offers a bag of money through the window grill from outside (Saint Nicholas?)
