Thomas Aquinas is on his way to France. He wears the Dominican habit and rests by a spring. His brothers find him and take him to his parental home. This is an engraving from a series of 30 prints depicting the life story of Thomas Aquinas (title: Vita D. Thomae Aquinatis). The prints, designed by and published by Otto van Veen, were produced by C. Boel, E. van Paenderen, C. Galle and G. Swanenburgh.
