About this work
The personification of early Christianity (with attributes of martyrdom instruments and a Bible) in the foreground. She stands on the symbols of time (a winged hourglass) and of worldly power and wealth (a crowned globe with a money bag). Above her, cherubins fly. To the right behind her, the personification of late Christianity is crowned by the personification of the world.
