Avarice not only results in discord, violence and murder, but also leads people to cheat and deceive. The man wearing a tall hat and accompanied by a child at the left is most likely a false beggar. The quack physician at the right has set up his table with jars and publicity charts designed to impress, while he is simulating a faithful diagnosis of the woman’s disease, the purse at his side stuffed with hay alluding to his ill-gotten gains. The contextual meaning of the group in the center remains unclear.
