About this work

Paulus heals a young slave woman who could predict the future. Behind him stands possibly one of her owners, who was angry because he could no longer earn money with her gift. In the background Paulus and Silas are being flogged by order of the city magistrates, who were tipped off by the owners of the woman. Below the image a two-line Latin text. This print is part of an album.
