About this work
In the foreground, the apostle Peter is asked to pray for Tabitha (Dorcas), a woman who has just died but performed many good works in her community. Widows tearfully show the cloaks that Tabitha had just made. On the upper floor of a house, Peter prays by the corpse of Dorcas and raises her to life. Below the scene, a Latin reference to the Biblical text in Acts 9:40. This print is part of an album.
