About this work

This image shows four small scenes in oval frames, each with a different saint. One saint kneels while another raises a sword. Another scene has a man in a wide-brimmed hat standing near a group of people. A third shows a ship with a flag and a person holding a cross. The last picture has two men, one holding a tall pole with a cross on top. These images are drawn with fine lines, giving them a detailed but slightly scratchy look. The scenes are labeled with names like *St. Dympna* and *St. Peregrinus*, and the paper has a textured, aged feel. If you like this style, look into the technique: etching.
