This drawing features four circular illustrations of religious scenes associated with the month of May. The top left scene depicts a seated figure, likely the prophet Job, receiving visitors under swirling skies and architectural structures. The top right shows a figure with a halo holding a sword while another kneels before a well or spring. The bottom left illustrates a bishop gesturing towards a figure kneeling, with a demonic creature fleeing. The bottom right scene portrays a crowned figure surrounded by a crowd. Each scene is separated by decorative oval borders, implying a narrative through time reflected in date annotations.
