About this work

A traveling party in a mountain landscape is startled by a voice and bright light from the sky (represented by the text 'Savl Savl qvid persequeris me' in a beam of light). On the left in the foreground, Paulus sits on the ground after falling from his horse; traveling companions stand worried around him. On the right in the foreground, a man and a woman are being led away in chains by a troop of riders. In the background, a city is visible. Below the scene, an eight-line Latin poem.
