About this work
Illustration of a line from the Lord's Prayer: "And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." Men ask forgiveness from God the Father. They pray towards heaven, where the tetragram appears as a symbol of God the Father. They also forgive each other. A man is released from prison. On the right foreground, the father embraces the prodigal son. Below the image, this part of the Lord's Prayer in Latin and a reference to the biblical text in Matthew 6:12.
