About this work

God the Father in the clouds. Around Him three groups of angels: seraphim, cherubim and thrones. Below God an angel holds the two stone tablets with the law of Moses. Below the clouds the deeds of these angels on earth: in the middle the expulsion from Paradise, to the left the destruction of the Assyrian army camp and to the right the Annunciation. The print has a Latin inscription and forms part of a series about the different choirs of angels.
