Boat with ten people onboard from Ship of Fools
The panels appear to depict allegories of three of the Seven Deadly Sins [Bosch, ca. 1505-1510]. Both the Louvre and the Yale paintings have often been associated with Gluttony and Lust [Morganstern, 1984, 300:note 30; Benesch, 1957, 33-34; Adhémar, 1962, 28-29; de Mirimonde, 1971, 34-35; Cuttler, 1969, 274-275], and the reconstruction of these panels strengthens that association.
