About this work
The fifth day of Creation: God creates the animals. God the Father in the guise of an old man, standing amidst various animals. In the sky birds, in the sea a sea monster, on the left an elephant, cow, sheep, and rabbits. On the right a peacock and two monkeys. At the bottom, a reference to the Bible text in Latin. This print is part of an album.
