About this work
To the left, patriarch Dan, the fifth son of Jacob. He holds the staff of justice in his hand. In the background, a horse being bitten by a snake, references to Dan as a guardian of justice and as a 'serpent on the road'. To the right, patriarch Gad, the seventh son of Jacob. He stands on a shield, and on the ground lies armor. Below the images, a reference in Latin to the biblical text. The print is part of an album.
