Four groups of nuns and monks
Description
These groups also belong to the clergy caricatures: monks and nuns "kidnap" each other and express the unfair intentions in their unusual positions. The fact that in fact the chastity commandment prevailing in monasteries was violated is shown by the nun with the infant on her lap.
