The artwork shows Clovis kneeling in a baptismal font, with a bishop pouring water over his head, while a group of onlookers watches. Vinkeles' work is characterized by its meticulous detail and clear linework, which creates a sense of realism and historical accuracy. This engraving is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
