This print, created by M. Hemeleers-van Houter between 1827 and 1894, is a devotional piece depicting scenes from the life of Christ. On the left side, the image of the Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel is shown, with two figures praying to it. On the right side, the scene of the crucifixion of Christ is depicted, with Mary Magdalene kneeling at the foot of the cross. The print, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant example of 19th-century religious art, combining imagery of the sacred with the traditional format of a devotional print.
