This image shows four figures standing in a framed scene. In the center, a woman holds a small child, both wearing golden halos. To the left, a bishop-like man in green robes holds a book and staff. On the right, a soldier in armor carries a spear. The background has trees and a shield with a red cross pattern. The names "S. Conradus" and "S. Pelagius" are written below the figures, likely referring to the two saints. The style looks simple but detailed, with flat colors and sharp lines.
