Summary:
The angel Michael (Pitt?) in armor with arms outstretched, banishes a sullen Medusa-like Satan (Fox), who exits to the right. To the angel's left is a tree labeled "Forbidden Fruit"; the fruits are small money bags labelled with different amounts of currency. A naked old woman (Queen Charlotte?) sits at the base of the tree, watching the proceedings.
