This is a drawing of four religious scenes associated with saints and events in the month of April. The first panel depicts St. Theodore encountering demonic creatures. In the second panel, figures are gathered around a tomb. The third panel features St. Anselm and a seated monk. The last panel shows St. Opportuna comforting a person in bed. Each panel is detailed with line work, capturing the gestures and significance attributed to these figures.
