This is a group of four oval prints contained in rectangles, arranged in a grid. In the top left panel, two people are embracing; one wearing a cape and a halo, and the other in a robe. Architecture with archways and columns is in the background, under a cloudy sky. To the right, another panel shows a full-length profile view of a kneeling man with a robe and a halo at an altar. The altar has a book on top of it, and an opening with people in the background is visible on the left. The bottom left panel features two almost nude men; one on the left is tied to a cross and the other on the right is bound to a post, with a cityscape visible behind them. They both have halos and are looking upward, where an angelic figure with wings hovers in a cloud above them. Finally, the bottom right panel includes three people: a bearded man with a halo, a long robe, and a large hat with two curved points, a woman with a head covering, a halo, and a draped tunic, and a child with a halo wearing a tunic, holding a tall cross in one hand, the other held up, palm outward. Each oval print is surrounded by a few words and numbers, with large blank borders between them.
