This is a drawing of four religious scenes illustrated within oval frames. Each panel is labeled with a saint's name and a date in May. The top-left scene depicts a central figure with a halo being struck by two men with clubs. The top-right scene shows a figure with a halo being escorted amidst a crowd. The bottom-left panel illustrates a lone figure with a halo, appearing to be in prayer or deep thought. The bottom-right scene shows a figure with a halo being escorted by three other figures, two of whom are soldiers bearing swords. The drawings focus on religious iconography typical of classical illustrations.
