About this work

This drawing shows many small scenes with religious figures and symbols. It's detailed and intricate. The scenes seem to tell a story, but the story is not clear because the drawing is old and the labels are hard to read. The labels are in a language that's not easy to understand, which makes it harder to know what each scene means. The drawing has many scenes, like a comic strip, showing different moments in a story. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking at the subject: icons (devotional images).
