About this work
A monument for preacher and writer Jan van der Roest with his silhouette portrait surrounded by a snake biting its own tail. Faith points to the sky, the cross stands next to her. A putto mourns and points to an open Bible with a reference to Rev. 14:13. Below the representation a four-line verse in Dutch.
