This etching shows four robed figures kneeling on rocky ground, surrounded by angels and floating hands reaching toward them. One person cradles a child, while another holds a cross. Above, a winged figure points upward, and more angels hover in the sky. The scene feels dramatic, with swirling lines and dramatic lighting. The title *Four Saints* hints this isn’t just a random group—it’s a story. The text below is Latin, which often means religious or moral themes in old art. Want to see more?
