In the center foreground, the apostle Peter. Around him are all the sick and possessed. They hope that Peter's shadow will fall on them and heal them. Along with Peter, the other apostles heal the sick and cast out spirits. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Acts 5:15. This print is part of an album.
