About this work

Gideon kneels by the fleece. The dew falls only on the fleece. On the right in the background, Gideon kneels for the second time by the fleece. This time the dew falls only around the fleece and not on the fleece. Gideon's men watch in amazement. Below the image, a reference in Latin to the Biblical text in Judges 6.
