About this work
Four scenes. Top left: a woman offers her heart to Christ by raising it to heaven. Top right: a woman walks with the risen Christ, who protects her from wild animals and demons. Bottom left: a woman on a rock, while the sea swirls around her and it rains and thunders. The rock and the beam of light symbolize the presence of Christ. Bottom right: a woman has lost the Christian path, yet Christ, on the clouds, does not lose sight of her.
