The Parable of the Tribute Money by Master of the Egmont Albums: A sepia-toned drawing of a biblical scene. The scene depicts a group of people, some with beards and robes, gathered around a central figure. In the center, a man with a halo gestures toward a figure on the right, possibly handing him something. The figure on the right bends forward and holds what appears to be a staff in his left hand. A man on the left appears to lean on a staff with both hands. Some individuals are seated. In the background, an archway is on the left and a staircase leads up to a platform with figures on the right. Smoke or clouds are above the platform. The drawing has detailed lines and shading, suggesting a detailed narrative scene.
