This print shows a framed scene with three small figures. In the center, two people are carrying a cross, while a third figure stands nearby. Around them, cherubs hold up the frame, which has ornate scrolls and Latin text. The whole thing looks like a carved border, with tiny details like leaves and swirls. The top text reads *"Torcular calcai Solus et de gentibus non est vir mecum"*—a riddle-like phrase that fits the print’s mysterious tone. The cross scene hints at a religious theme, but the figures are stylized, not realistic. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
