Poor Lazarus lies dead on a straw bed under a canopy. He is mourned by three figures. In the sky, three angels carry his soul to heaven . In the background right, Lazarus can be seen as a crippled man, walking on crutches in landscape. The print contains a top inscription in Latin and captions in French and Dutch.
