Page from a book (p. 163) with text on the verso. In an oval cartouche, the interior of a room. In the foreground, a youth throws a glass into the air. Next to the youth, more glasses stand on a table. In the background, an apple tree is visible. Above the cartouche, the title (motto) of the print and a biblical quote (Psalm 36:24, now Psalm 37:24). Below the print, an inscription: 'So it falls to the ground, it breaks immediately' and a description explaining the print. Glass and crystal often break because people act thoughtlessly. However, whoever throws a glass up always has time to catch it again. God's actions are analogous: adversity is indeed sent by him, but he will never let man fall completely because he cares for us.
