National Gallery of Art

This drawing features four religious scenes in circular frames on a single sheet. The scenes are laid out in a grid pattern. The top left scene shows a robed figure with a pastoral staff, an angelic entity to the left, and a landscape in the background. The top right scene features a figure in a bishop's mitre gesturing from a pulpit-like structure to a gathered crowd in what seems to be a church. The bottom left scene depicts a nativity-like scene with a mother and child surrounded by figures. The bottom right scene shows a figure standing on a pillar with onlookers pointing upwards, set against a backdrop of buildings under a serene sky.
