Description
A carnival-esque battle between 'Fat' and 'Lean', a representation of the fight between gluttony (sin) and sobriety (virtue). The lines of text read: Qui genio indulgent, ac Bacchanalia viuunt, / Et qui contracti ducunt frugaliter aeuum, // Diversae inter se turbae fera praelia miscent, / Virtutes Vitijs, Vitia vt Virtutibus obstant.
