About this work

In the center of the foreground the apostle Peter with sick and possessed people around him. They hope that Peter's shadow will fall on them and heal them. The other apostles also heal the sick and cast out spirits. Above the image a title. Below it six lines of verse and a reference to Acts 5: 12. The print forms part of an album.
