Peter Brueghel. Reproduction from a painting of the 16th century.

Brueghel reflects on human vices and the frailty of human life. The painting depicts a young evil dwarf stealing a purse from a gloomy old man. The dwarf is inscribed in a sphere with a cross — this is a symbolic image of a vicious world. The old man's hands are folded in a prayer gesture, which should testify to the pious character of the character. However, piety turns out to be hypocritical: behind, a tightly stuffed red heart-shaped purse sticks out from under a long black cloak. Perhaps here Brueghel relies on the maxim "Where the purse is, there is the heart", which goes back to the Gospel text.
