About this work

The disciples of Christ argue among themselves about which of them is the most important. Christ takes a child to himself, and says to them: 'Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him who sent me. For whoever is the least among you all, he is truly great.' Letters are placed at various elements of the representation. The print is part of an album.
