About this work
In the temple the angel Gabriel appears to the high priest Zacharias, telling him that he will have a son. Because Zacharias does not believe this, his speech is taken from him. When he appears on the steps of the temple to address the crowd he can no longer speak. Below the scene a reference in Latin to the biblical text in Luke 1. This print is part of an album.
