The image captures a powerful moment as Jesus forcefully expels merchants and overturns tables within the temple. The Latin inscription accompanying the artwork reads: "IESUS EJECIT DE TEMPLO OVES ET BOVES ET MENSAS NUMMULARIORUM EVERTIT" which translates to "Jesus drove out sheep and oxen and overturned the tables of money-changers".
