About this work

God the Father, seated on a throne. On his head he wears a tiara. In his left hand he holds a globus cruciger. With his right hand he makes a speaking gesture. In a scroll the text: Ipse dixit et facta sunt, Ipse mandavit, et creata sunt. Psalm 33:9 (He spoke and it was done. He commanded and they were created). At the bottom two men hold an empty escutcheon. At the top a decorative border of intertwined branches and nude figures. The print is part of an album.
