Illustration to 'Rich Jew of Malta'
Summary
A split level scene with a nun standing above looking down and a man standing below looking up. Behind the nun on the upper level is a leaded window with a landscape view beyond. There is stairway behind the nun which runs down to the lower level, where it is seen to the right of the man. The lower level appears to be a cellar and the man is holding a burning torch in his right hand. With his left hand he is reaching upwards. A cascade of glittering objects hangs in the air between the man below and the nun above.
