The Gates of #Hell

Flemish School 16th or 17th century

Certainly it has elements of a Gates of Hell, but there lacks the human or divine elements. It is reminiscent of the Witches sabbath, but the dominant figure of the witch is depicted with wings, which is not common illustration of witches and thus points more towards a demon. Cerberus makes a rare appearance as well.
