The top right scene shows a man kneeling in front of a candle, with a halo above him. The bottom left scene shows a man standing in a tub, with another man holding a spear above him. The bottom right scene shows a man sitting in a chair, with a halo above him. The scenes are all drawn in black and white, with lots of lines and details. The artist has used a technique called etching to create the images. The scenes are all different, but they all show important moments in the lives of saints.
