About this work

The Christian Church as a seated woman. As a sign of her dignity she wears a tiara. Above her head the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. In her right hand the woman has a staff with keys crowned with a cross, in her left hand a chalice with the blood of Christ. Below the image two lines of text in Latin. The print is part of an album.
