Bible. N.T. Revelation, although the print is not strictly biblical. Adam and Eve stand on the left; the dead emerge with their hands pointing upwards. In the central distance, a ferryman drives a barge on a river which divides the print. The devil has jumped over the river and mocks an angel with a sword. The right-hand half shows tormented sinners and demons, a woman tearing her hair and a screaming pope
