Panel painting of a street scene: a man in a red robe helps a stooped, ragged figure while onlookers watch beside brick houses.

The Seven Works of Mercy: Clothing the Naked

A street scene in a northern European town with brick houses and a green-roofed building behind. In the foreground a man in a long red robe and dark cloak helps a stooped, ragged figure, while a crowd of onlookers in green and red gowns watches; a wicker basket and brass vessel sit on the ground.
