About this work
Cain is about to kill Abel with a large stone he holds in his hand. In the background two altars are visible. To the right Cain's grain offering and to the left the sacrificed lamb of Abel. God's approval of Abel's offering is symbolized by the sun rays pointing to the left. With an inscription in six languages.
