. Artist: Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. Engraver: Joch, inscribed lower left. Source:Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. [John 21: 7; King James Bible]
Although the text of the Gospel of Mark describes the messenger only as a “young man,” the artist depicts him as an angel.
