Christ Driving the Money Changers from the Temple

An etching in dark tones shows a central robed figure with a raised arm, his body lit by a radiant burst of light, driving a crowd from a vaulted hall. Overturned tables, scattered coins, and startled figures crowd the lower foreground beneath a bright arched doorway.

Español: Cristo expulsando a los cambistas del templo

Un grabado en tonos oscuros muestra a una figura central vestida con túnica, con el brazo en alto y el cuerpo iluminado por un resplandor, que expulsa a una multitud de un salón abovedado. Mesas volcadas, monedas esparcidas y figuras sobresaltadas llenan el primer plano bajo una brillante puerta arqueada.
