A nineteenth-century copy of the original of 1614 in Museo Capodimonte, Naples. The angel, probably Michael, dressed in gold and red with wings and a boy dressed in blue stand in front of an ornate classical stone pedestal/tomb/sarcophagus in a landscape. The angel gestures heavenwards with his right hand and holds a shield around the boy with his left hand. Kneeling on the ground in the shadows, on the right, is a devil-like figure with a two-pronged fork.
