About this work

Elijah curses Ahab and his entire family. Ahab shows remorse and immediately tears his fine clothes. Ahab and Elijah stand outside the walls of Ahab's palace near the vineyard of Naboth. On the right, Ahab departs bent over in his sackcloth. Below the image a verse in Latin. The print is part of an album.
