National Gallery of Art

Four illustrations featuring different religious figures or scenes within oval frames. The top-left illustration shows two figures with halos walking alongside a cart on a hilly path. The top-right illustration portrays a figure wearing a robe and a halo, holding a staff and a book in front of a small church. The bottom-left illustration shows robed figures looking up towards a heavenly scene with rays emanating from a dove. The bottom-right image depicts a figure with a halo kneeling with hands raised, facing a rocky landscape with a small dog nearby. The illustrations have a consistent stylistic approach with hatching for shading and detail.
