About this work

Satirical print on the untrustworthiness and duplicity of the Roman Catholic Church following the April Movement of April 1853. A bishop shows his true, false face behind a mask of Christ. In the background, an angel makes a warding-off gesture. The bishop holds a rolled-up document in his hand with 'The Oath' written on it.
