About this work
In the sky appears the sign of the woman in labour, crowned and with wings, in a halo. She is threatened by a seven-headed dragon. The woman's child is taken away to God the Father. The archangel Michael engages the dragon in battle. Below the image a Latin reference to the biblical text in Rev. 12:1. This print is part of an album.
