Paul throws himself on the dead Eutychus (the boy died because he fell out of a window after falling asleep during a sermon by Paul). Next to them stands a man with two burning torches. In the background several bystanders. Below the scene, the title is shown in Hebrew, English, German, Latin, French and Dutch. The print was used in the following books: Figures de la Bible (Amsterdam: Bernard Picart, 1720) and Taferelen der voornaamste geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament [...] door de vermaarde kunstenaars Hoet, Houbraken, en Picart getekent [...] en met beschrijvingen uitgebreid (Den Haag: Pieter de Hondt, 1728).
