In the historical context of the Netherlands and Flanders (particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries), the depiction of the seven deadly sins was a central theme in moralising and satirical art. The allegory of Avarice was frequently represented in paintings, as well as in sculptures and wooden bas-reliefs intended for furnishings, architectural panels, or private collections.
