A Flemish or Dutch drawing of a female saint in a Poor Clare habit and with a crown of thorns (probably Catherine of Siena) kneeling before a crucifix, arms crossed over her chest, as she resists the temptation of riches, power, and pleasure. Riches are represented by three well-dressed men on the left offering her treasure, including an open chest filled with coins and valuables. Power is represented by a crown suspended in the cloud above, while pleasure represented on the right by two female musicians, one playing a flute and another a lute, while a third woman offers a bouquet of flowers. Above and behind the figures on the left is the ruin of a building. In the clouds on the right above the musicians, the triumph of faith over temptation is represented as the grim reaper with a scythe cutting down three kings whose crowns topple from their heads
