The second frame shows a figure appearing to fall or be confronted by a hand with architectural elements in the background. 3. In the third frame, two figures are depicted near a rocky outcrop. 4. The fourth frame includes a saintly figure standing on a pedestal handing something to another person with onlookers in the background.
