About this work

Two scenes on an album sheet. On the left, the baptism of the eunuch. Philip baptizes an eunuch on his way from Jerusalem to Gaza. Behind the eunuch, three figures wait by his carriage. On the right, the conversion of Saul. Saul, the future apostle Paul, is blinded by light from heaven on his way to Damascus, causing him to fall from his horse. Below both scenes is a two-line Latin inscription. The sheet is part of an album.
