About this work
Patriarch Judah, half-length, in an architectural setting, holding a staff in his right hand. At his left side the head of a lion (a reference to Judah's nickname 'lion's whelp', or to Christ 'the Lion of Judah'). Below the image two lines of text in Latin. This print is part of a series of twelve patriarchs of Israel; each print in this series consists of a portrait of a patriarch, half-length, and a two-line Latin inscription.
