The Circumcision
The scene of Christ's circumcision described in Luke 2:21 (after the style of Albrecht Dürer). The text beneath the image engraved by C. Schonaeus reads: "Cernis ut octava sit circuncisus Iesus / Luce puer, tenero accipiens in corpore vulnus, / Ad normam veteris legis, ritumque receptum, / Isacidis multos observatumque per annos."
