Measuring an impressive 292x492 cm, this fourth tapestry in the series inspired by Bosch's work was manufactured in Brussels.

The scene depicts naked men and women from various races engaging in all forms of sexual pleasure, including heterosexual, homosexual, and onanistic encounters. Alongside them are rare plants, minerals, shells, and oversized fruits symbolizing these indulgences. This Flemish artwork housed at the Madrid Monastery of Escorial offers a profound exploration into human desires and temptations. It delves into themes such as morality, sexuality, madness, imagination, leisure, and religion during the Renaissance period.
