The drawing consists of a 2x2 grid showing religious scenes. In the top left, a figure with a halo is kneeling outdoors with buildings in the background and rays from above. The scene is connected to St. Helena. In the top right, a figure is in a cave, with a person and a beast in the distance, possibly Saint Donatus. The lower left shows a figure in religious vestments blessing or addressing a kneeling figure, representing St. Ludovicus. In the bottom right, another figure is seated outside, engaged in reading or writing, representing St. Bernard. The drawing is detailed, capturing the spiritual scenes and surrounding architecture.
