The image consists of four separate drawings arranged in two rows and two columns. The top left image shows Saint Maximilian standing with a bishop's crosier, wearing a mitre and robe. Ruins are visible in the background. The top right image shows Saint Carpus kneeling and facing a building under a cloudy sky. The bottom left depicts Saints Daniel and Angelus, one with a halo and the other raising a sword behind him, with a structure in the background. The bottom right shows Saint Fortunatus standing with arms raised, wearing bishop attire and holding a cross, with a twisted tree and two other figures in the background under a clouded sky. Each scene is enclosed within an oval frame on a plain background.
