About this work

Christ stands in the middle of the temple and waves his whip of cords. The merchants try to ward off the blows and flee outside. Sheep, cattle, and doves flee away. The money changers grab for their coins. Illustration of the biblical text Joh. 2:14. Below the image, the title in Hebrew, English, German, Latin, French, and Dutch.
