About this work
The triumphant Christ Child conquers Death and the Devil. He stands on a globe and tramples a skeleton and a snake. Above his head the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and a tetragram, the symbol for God the Father. He is surrounded by clouds with cherubim. In the margin a two-line Bible quote from Hebrews 2 in Latin.
