The image depicts four oval-shaped illustrations, each labeled and dated for late September. The first scene shows a crowned figure on horseback gesturing towards a kneeling figure with an angelic form in the sky and a pastoral landscape. The second scene features a winged figure standing triumphantly over a subjugated creature. The third illustration shows an angel guiding a pilgrim-like figure with a staff against a cloudy backdrop. The final image portrays a bearded figure kneeling near a crucifix amidst rocky terrain under a tumultuous sky. Each illustration contains intricate linework and conveys narrative and symbolism typical of religious or allegorical art.
