About this work

Christ tells the Pharisees about the Good Shepherd: "The sheep listen to his voice; he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." On the facade of the temple, medallions with scenes from the parable. Letters next to various elements of the scene correspond to the legend in the margin.
