Visiting the Sick

Visiting the sick as the fifth of the works of mercy. The composition is framed in an architectural border with an arch. Above it, in a cartouche, the title. In the foreground, in the middle, a sick person lies in bed. Next to him sits a priest; a lady and gentleman come to visit him and bring food. On the second plane, on the right, Christ healing a sick person. On the left, the Good Samaritan helping the wounded man by the road. On the left in the border, a king from the Old Testament with the text of Ecclesiastes 38 and 18; on the right, the apostle James as a pilgrim, with text from John 5. In the four outermost corners, scenes with sick people and healings from the Old and New Testament. With explanatory texts from the Old and New Testament. Below the composition, four lines of Latin. This print is part of a series of prints on the works of mercy (consisting of a title page and seven numbered prints).
