拍品专文

The scenes depicted on the needlework back depict the Baptism of the Eunuch of Ethiopia by Philip (Acts VIII.26-39). Details including the chariot, attendants and open Scriptures on the seat derive from an illustration by Matthew Merian of Basel in the 1627 New Testament published in Frankfurt (M. Swain, pp. 77-78).
