About this work

Cornelius and his family members kneel before Peter as he wants to enter the house. The Holy Spirit descends upon them. On the right Peter preaches to the people. In the background it can be seen how Moses invites all the sick and poor of the city to come to the king's wedding feast. In the margin three Bible quotes, in three columns, from Isa. 43:8, Luke 14:21 and Gal. 3:14 in Latin.
