Flesh for Flesh
Engraving, 58 x 84 mm, anonymous (German), 1555
Rijksmuseum., Amsterdam

Crude Protestant satire targeting the hypocrisy of Catholic celibacy. A nun runs after a cat with a fish in her hand. She wants to exchange the fish for a penis that the cat has in its mouth. A jester watches through a window frame as he holds her bloomers.
