Español: Jeremías lamentando la destrucción de Jerusalén

Un anciano barbudo con una túnica gris ribeteada de piel se sienta sobre el suelo rocoso, con la cabeza apoyada en la mano, junto a un casco dorado y una alfombra roja estampada. A la izquierda, detrás de él, una ciudad arde bajo un peñasco oscuro, iluminada por una luz cálida contra una sombra profunda.

Português: Jeremias lamentando a destruição de Jerusalém

Um idoso barbudo, com uma túnica cinza debruada de pele, senta-se sobre o chão rochoso, com a cabeça apoiada na mão, ao lado de um elmo dourado e de um tapete vermelho estampado. À esquerda, atrás dele, uma cidade queima sob uma saliência escura de rocha, iluminada por uma luz quente contra uma sombra profunda.
