Allegory of the broad and narrow way.

Oil on panel, 58,5 x 83,1 cm (few sm. scratches and losses, mostly on edges, panel very sl. bent).

Curious popular painting in a naive style depicting Matthew 7:13-14: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Large composition with all figures bearing their cross. At left the narrow way to heaven. At right the broad way to hell.
