This is a drawing of four religious scenes depicted within oval frames on a grid. The first scene shows a seated figure with a halo being approached by three smaller figures. The second scene features two haloed figures embracing, with another haloed figure and a bystander observing. The third scene illustrates a clerical figure with a shroud, accompanied by a procession of similarly dressed individuals. The last scene shows a figure with a halo, bound and standing between two guards or executioners holding long sticks or spears.
