The temple is a cave. The Statens Museum for Kunst describes it as a gloomy grotto amid the city, and at its centre Christ scourging those who have desecrated it.
Around him the trade goes on. A quack operates in front of an audience; a thief reaches for an onlooker's purse; a condemned man hangs in a basket over water, able to free himself only by cutting the rope and falling in. The crescent moon, the museum says, stands for paganism and sin. Far back, almost illegible, a small scene from the Passion is already under way.

And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
