About this work

Christ smears mud and saliva into the eyes of a man born blind. Some of Christ's disciples stand behind him watching. On the right, the blind man is seen washing in a river (Siloam). On the left, the healed man and his parents are being questioned by the Pharisees. Far right in the background, the healed man kneels before Christ after being driven away by the Pharisees. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in John 9:1. This print is part of an album.
