About this work

Depiction of one of the spiritual works of mercy: visiting prisoners. A priest stands with an elevated crucifix before three prisoners sitting on a bench in their cell. The middle one holds his head bowed and has a rosary in his hands. To the left foreground, an altar server. Title below the image. The scene is framed by an ornamental border.
