Flooding on fertile land, On the left, people, livestock, belongings and boats are swept away by the flowing water. Neptune is also in the water in his chariot with hippocampuses. The flood is caused by four Cherubim. On the right some figures on a fertile piece of land with agricultural tools: a woman with a lantern and a rooster (possibly the personification of Vigilance); a woman with a horn of plenty and ears of corn (Ceres or the personification of Abundance) and a saint with a cross, an open book and an ox (possibly Luke). Behind him two beehives as a symbol of industry and above Jupiter
