People do his duty from flock; Degening the Catholic clergy. The personification of piety (Pietas) gives a beggar an alms. As an attribute, she holds a burning altar in hand. In the background expressions of godly life: sick visit as one of the works of mercy (right) and exports of daily work such as mats and baskets braids.
