DescriptionAt the left is a nun in a habit with her hands over her eyes because the bottom half of her black robe has been torn off by a monk's foot exposing her legs, stockings, and garter belt. On the right is a monk dressed in white robes and sandals with a large bald spot on the top of his head. The monk has tossed his book in the air.
