About this work

The fifth day of creation: God creates the animals. God the Father in the guise of an old man, standing among various animals. Birds in the sky, a sea monster in the sea, an elephant, cow, sheep, and rabbits on the left. A peacock and two monkeys on the right. At the bottom, a reference to the biblical text in Latin. Print is part of an album.
