Christ: Miracle of raising Lazarus -- Among group of standing men, one raises draped hands toward his nose, and another clasps his hands. Mary and Martha, both of Bethany, veiled, kneel with joined hands raised, behind Lazarus in shroud, rising in sarcophagus, with lid on side. Christ, decorated crossed nimbus, extends His right hand in blessing toward them and holds book in His left hand. Two nimbed apostles stand behind Him.
Decorated frame.
