The Fight between Carnival and Lent depicts a common festival held in the Southern Netherlands. On the left side of the painting there is an inn, and in the right side of the painting there is a church. The juxtaposition is meant to illustrate the two sides of human nature: pleasure and religious chastity, and the contrast between the two. Near the church sit well-behaved children. Near the inn are rambunctious drunkards.
Walka karnawału z postem przedstawia powszechne święto obchodzone w południowych Niderlandach. Po lewej stronie obrazu znajduje się zajazd, a po prawej kościół. Zestawienie ma na celu zilustrowanie dwóch stron natury ludzkiej: przyjemności i religijnej czystości oraz kontrastu między nimi. W pobliżu kościoła siedzą grzeczne dzieci. W pobliżu zajazdu siedzą hałaśliwi pijacy.
