About this work
An adult man sits with hands folded kneeling before a table. Together with two veiled women he worships a platter on which two wings lie. To the left next to the man lies a globe with the image of various mitres and a crown partly sunk in the earth. Above this Christ has appeared in heaven, surrounded by angels. A naked man, to the right in the image led to Christ by the personifications of Religion and Piety, kneels before Christ. Below the image is a text in Latin, numbered in the left margin: 6. The print is part of a series of allegorical prints on the life of man.
