About this work
The Tower of Babel is being built. In the foreground men are cutting and carrying stones in baskets. To the right a man, possibly Nimrod, makes a pointing gesture. To the left construction work: stones are cut and transported with donkeys, ovens are stoked. Below the image a text in Latin. Print is part of an album.
