The calumny of Apelles: the judge with the ears of an ass, sits left in an open piazza, his councillors Suspicion (Sospitione) and Ignorance (Ignorantia) stand on either side; Envy (Invidia), an old hag with ass's ears, presents to him Calumny (Calumnia dapele), a young woman wearing a crown, who holds a torch and drags Innocence (Innocentia) by the hair; she is followed by her handmaids, Fraud (Adiptione) and Treachery (Insidia) who are tying her hair, while Repentance (Penitentia) turns towards Truth (Verita), who points up with her hand.
