Jesus zieht die Gläubigen an sein Herz

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, 1480/1490

This is a painting depicting three figures against a simple background. On the left, a robed figure stands next to a tree, holding a shell-shaped object and conversing with a small, horned creature. In the center stands a small figure with horns and goat-like legs, holding two whips made of branches with red ribbons on top. On the right, another being holds a similar whip and is tied to a column, draped with a piece of cloth and shown with an expression of suffering. Speech scrolls with text in a Gothic script surround the figures. Small red pom-poms decorate parts of the image. The artwork is in the style of an unknown Renaissance artist, possibly illustrating a religious or moral allegory.
