About this piece
Naked women, portrayed as witches, sit on the ground around a cauldron, adding various ingredients to create a magical potion during a witches' sabbath. Smoke or steam rises from the cauldron. In the background, a naked witch rides through the air on the back of a goat, symbolizing the devil, holding a pitchfork and a cauldron. In the foreground, witchcraft tools such as pitchforks and skulls are scattered. To the right, a cat sits observing the scene.
