About this work
Paul seated in a landscape, leaning on a book and holding writing instruments; a sword rests against his leg, and a stack of books lies before him. In the distance, the conversion of Paul is depicted, with a ray from heaven bearing the Latin translation of Christ's words "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me" striking a group of soldiers, causing Paul to fall from his horse. Below the image is a six-line Latin text describing the scene.
