Lot Essay
The subject of this lot is taken from Matthew 14:22-23. The disciples were alone in a boat on the Sea of Galilee when Christ walked towards them on the water. Peter called to him and stepped out of the boat to walk to him, but soon began to sink. Christ caught hold of him, uttering the words, 'O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?' This work appears to be an allegory of Christ's salvation.
