About this work
To the left rear villagers stand by two cows. To the left front a farmer kneels beside a priest. At the priest lies an axe. In front of him stand sacrificial supplies. To the right a woman with several children. To the right rear stand Paul and Barnabas before the temple. Both apostles pull at their clothes to prevent the sacrifice from taking place. The temple and the cows are decorated with garlands. In the distance a fight. Below the image a six-line Latin text with an explanation of the scene.
