About this work
God appears in the sky. The prophet Jeremiah stands with his hand raised and looks up, with a yoke around his neck that God has ordered him to make as a symbol of the yoke of Babylon. On the left, King Zedekiah of Judah on a raised platform. At the bottom of the stairs, the prophet Hananiah, with the help of others, breaks the yoke around Jeremiah's neck into pieces. Below the depiction a reference in Latin to the Biblical text in Jer. 27. This print is part of an album.
