Death of the firstborn in Egypt.
Description:
An angel holding a sword casts a last glance behind as it walks down a flight of stairs leading up to a door, in front of which four women are lamenting over their dead children.
The caption reads in the original French: Mort des premiers-nés en Égypte (Exode, XII, 29-30).
