Christ meets ten men suffering from leprosy and orders them to show themselves to the priests. When they do so, they are healed. Only one of the ten, a Samaritan, returns on the left in the background and kneels before Christ to thank him. Below the image a reference in Latin to the biblical text. This print is part of an album.
