In the background, Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane, while the disciples sleep (right), the three wise men worship the infant Jesus, below the hill of Golgotha (left). Jerusalem appears behind the column, while the images on it depict Jesus carrying the cross and his crucifixion. The cardinal’s crest appears at the head . The engraver, Thomas de Leu, and the printer Carel von Bockel have placed their signatures in the lower right. De Leu copied the earlier designs of Maarten De Vos, whose work may be found in the Digital Image Archive under the call number 1587SADE..
