This 1629 engraving by Christoffel van Sichem depicts a scene with a man on the left counting coins while simultaneously looking through a window at another scene on the right. The scene on the right shows a procession to a seated figure. This work, titled "God én de mammon dienen gaat niet," ("You cannot serve both God and Mammon") may be a depiction of Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." The work is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
