About this work
Two scenes on a plate. Above: after the siege of Jerusalem the Babylonian army departs back home with the plundered treasures of the city. The population of Jerusalem is taken into slavery. In the background Jerusalem in flames. Below: King Evil-Merodach of Babylon sits on his throne and grants King Jehoiachin of Judah grace. Jehoiachin bows in thanks.
