Interior of St Peter's Church around 1630

The painting shows part of the interior of St Peter's Church before it was destroyed by the Hamburg fire of 1842. Light falls into the church from the right, where there are few visitors. The light illuminates a large figure of a bishop on one of the church's white round pillars, carrying a small church building on his hand. At the sides, between the round pillars, high wooden walls decorated with carvings and ornate window and door openings have been installed, visually separating the area behind from the church interior.
