This original pencil sketch is highly detailed and abounding with symbolism. There are four major temptations represented... First, hypocrisy, falsehood and deception through hiding behind masks. Second, the lure of self abuse and suicide. Third, the deception of being filled through decadence and substance abuse. Then, lastly, the illusion of gaining fulfillment through false sexual intimacy and the offering of forbidden fruit with a gesture of secrecy. In the lower corners you can see those who have fallen prey... with death and imprisonment symbolized with those figures appearing as mummies hidden behind the vertical cloths which are a symbol of their imprisonment.
