This is a drawing of four scenes arranged in a grid, each with a label of a date in May and featuring distinct religious imagery. The upper left scene, dated the 28th, shows a person lying on a bed with another standing beside them; a cloth is draped over the foot of the bed. The upper right scene, dated the 29th, illustrates two individuals in a gesture of meeting or prayer surrounded by a pastoral setting. In the lower left, dated the 30th, a figure is shown in a forested area in a posture suggesting supplication or prayer. The lower right scene, dated the 31st, shows individuals with religious attire, one seated in a waiting posture, possibly in conversation or receiving instruction from a standing figure, in front of a structure resembling a church.
