Description:
Sebastián de Aparicio throws his chamber pot into a devil's face drenching the devil with urine. Aparicio sits up on his wooden bed while holding a rosary. In the background is a scene of monks scourging a monk who also whips himself with a flail while a demon watches them and a scene of a monk kissing the foot of a seated monk (punishment for losing his temper with the demon?).
