A shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. In the background to the left, some buildings with a gate. Christ sits on the clouds and passes the final judgment. The dead are led by angels to heaven or to hell (Matt. 25). With a motto in Latin above the scene and a four-line inscription in Latin below the print. The print is part of an album.
