- From a series of eleven plates representing scenes from the New Testament; Callot etched 10 scenes before death prevented him from finishing the series. Henriet commissioned the title from another engraver, traditionally identified as Abraham Bosse (although this plate is not mentioned either by Duplessis or Blum), and published the set in 1635.
Also see cat. exhib. 'Jacques Callot' (Nancy, 1992), p.544-548.
