An allegorical scene with a warning against venereal disease set in a landscape in a circle at center. At right, a figure plays the lute in front of a fountain with Venus and Cupid. At center, a man gestures towards the fountain, while facing left towards a figure with a spear standing over a man crouching to drink from a stream into which a dog is urinating. Around the central circle, strapwork ornaments on a crosshatch background. The scene is a reverse copy of a print by Johannes Sadeler (Hollstein XXI.163.492) after a print by Christoph Schwarz.
