Description:
Hovering atop a dark billowing cloud, the armored knight holding a sword in front of him, is guided by an angel to rid the world of pestilence as seen in the cluster of Greek and Roman buildings displayed at his feet. Within the dark cloud are images of nude female figure holding up a goblet, a coiled serpent moving toward the female figure, and a bald man holding a money bag bearing a dollar sign. Possibly an alleogry of good and evil, greed, or Eve and the serpent.
