About this work

Illustration of the biblical verse Revelation 5:1, 'Then I saw this: the one who sat on the throne had in his right hand a scroll written on both sides and sealed with seven seals'. God sitting on a throne, on his right knee rests the book. At his right hand a lion, at his left the eagle (two of the four apocalyptic creatures). Before him another lion, from the tribe of Judah, who is allowed to open the book. Proof impression for the second print from a series of twelve, made for an album.
