The image contains four oval illustrations depicting different religious figures. In the top left panel, a person is sitting and painting on an easel with a bull nearby. The figure wears a long robe and a halo around their head. In the top right panel, an individual is standing on a hilltop ready to strike another figure lying in front of them. The background shows rolling hills and a small structure. The bottom left panel features two figures, one kneeling and one standing. In the bottom right illustration, a person is kneeling on a cliffside with overgrown hair, wearing a loincloth and praying or meditating with hands pressed onto a rock, with a cross beside them. The background displays a barren landscape with another human figure in the distance.
