The head of the Church of Rome appears as a wild man and an incarnation of the devil himself in front of Purgatory. Coats of arms with papal insignia (crossed keys, tiara) decorate the plaque on the horns of the defecating Satan. The key of Peter is broken; the pontifical cross uprooted. In contrast with the coarse scene, the artist rendered the tiniest details using the delicate lines of the technique of etching.
