Cut-throat society

Some sketches after Bosch's Haywain, Visions of the Afterlife and Judgement Day plus one hellish scene by one of his followers. Not just stonecutting but also a lot of throat-cutting going on in his work! Not regarding the floating giant knives.

Looks great! The rat guy seems to just be stabbing that one fellas neck which seems especially cruel since everyone else is just slicing necks. I guess in rat culture thats just a thing maybe.

Jared: Bosch seems to have taken something there that is more common in older Medieval manuscripts, where you can see daggers, swords and sometimes snakes enter and exit a victim's body.
