Description:

Artwork known as the 'Prisoner of Gisors', originally painted by Edward Henry Wehnert (1813-1868). A man is sitting at the edge of his bed, with his wrists shackled. Using a nail and a rock, he carves a bas-relief of the crucifixion scene onto the stone wall of his cell, with a fleur-de-lis and the Latin inscription 'O Mater Dei Miserere Mei Pontani'.
