The card game on the crib: Allegory. On both sides of a crib in which a grown man lies as an infant two men play a card game. In the foreground, a young man holds up the heartbeat, behind the cradle a woman rocking the child, the other card player and a man with a sword. In the lower left corner, a man croaks with a mask.
