About this work

This print shows four oval scenes with religious figures. The top left has a group of people around a wagon, with one man pointing upward. The top right shows a robed figure holding a staff, standing alone. The bottom left depicts a crowd under bright light, with a central figure raising their hands. The bottom right features a woman in robes, gesturing toward a staircase. Each scene is labeled with a saint’s name, like *St. Meliton* or *St. Euphrasia*. The lines are sharp and detailed, typical of the time. Next, look up etching to see how this technique works.
