About this work

God the Father, sitting on a cloud and holding a book with seven seals in his hands, is surrounded by angels with palm branches, seraphim, and above them cherubim. In front of him stand the four apocalyptic creatures, each with six wings: a lion, an ox, a man, and an eagle. In the center, the Lamb of God with seven horns. The twenty-four elders wear crowns and play lyres and harps. Below the scene, six verses in Latin and a reference to Revelation 5 and 15. The print is part of an album.
