Details |
The Sacrifice at Lystra, after a cartoon for a tapestry by Raphael, Italian renaissance artist. At the time the cartoon was in an exhibition at Hampton Court, West London.

They prepare to sacrifice an ox to them, but Paul tears his clothes in dismay, admonishing the Lystrians for their idolatry.
