About this work

Five round glasses with scenes from the Old Testament in a wooden setting. On the glass far left Adam and Eve at the tree with the serpent. The glass to the right of that: Cain kills Abel, Abel on the ground and Cain leaning over him with an unrecognizable object in his raised hand. The middle glass: the Flood. In the foreground people, one of whom on horseback, try to find refuge from the water on a mountain. In the background the Ark of Noah. On the glass to the right of that: Noah, in red robes, kneels at the sight of the rainbow. Far right: Moses in the reed basket is found by the handmaids of the daughter of the Pharaoh.
