Summary
Print shows Jesus Christ standing on a pedestal next to the cross at right, with blood pouring from his wounds into a basin with human hearts which Faith cleanses with the blood of Christ with a cross-shaped broom. Some hearts have not yet been wiped clean and contain the symbols of the deadly sins. In the background is Christ with the cross on his shoulder.
