Museum text in Dutch
Caritas ligt onder een baldakijn op kussens in een landschap. Drie naakte jongetjes spelen met haar en klimmen op haar rug en benen. Een jongetje drinkt van haar borst. Een ander jongetje houdt een vogel in zijn hand. Caritas draagt een diadeem op haar hoofd, een doek bedekt haar middel en benen.
