About this work

God appears to Gideon on a mountain. The tetragram symbolizes God the Father. Below, Gideon commands his men to drink water. Three hundred men lap the water with their tongues while the others kneel to drink. The men who kneel to drink are sent home (Judges 7:4). The print is part of an album.
