About this work

The master calls his three servants to account. Those with five talents and two talents have each earned the same amount. The last servant places his bundle with one talent on the table and returns to the master exactly what he had received. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Matthew 25:20. This print is part of an album.
