About this work
The sacrament of baptism. A gentleman in a blue jacket holds a baby over a baptismal font. A priest pours water over the head. Next to the priest, an altar server. Above the font, God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. To the left, Christ on the cross; from his wound a stream of blood spurts down onto the child. A kneeling lady and an angel look on. To the right, a devil crawling away. Title in two languages below the image. The scene is framed by an ornamental border.
