About this work

This print shows four small scenes in oval frames. The top left has a winged angel with a man kneeling before a cross. The top right shows a woman in a robe seated on steps, with people around her. The bottom left depicts a man in a doorway holding a cloth over a bed where another man lies. The bottom right features a robed figure holding a book, with a dog at his feet and a cloud above. Each scene is labeled with names like *S. Petrus* or *S. Dominicus*. The lines are sharp and detailed, with shadows adding depth.
