Mirror of the Example

In the foreground two believers. They kneel before a mirror diptych, which shows the reflection of Christ and Mary. In the background examples of devotion: Saint Martin and Saint Francis giving their cloaks to beggars and an elephant as a sign of wisdom. The print has a Latin inscription: 'Lucet, et inflammat, Specvlvm exemplaris honesti; Virtutem alterius si cupis esse tuam'. At the bottom a legend of the scenes which are numbered alphabetically on the image. The print is part of a twelve-print series (X out of XII prints) with the subject twelve mirrors with which man tries to see God.
