This is a drawing of four religious scenes framed within ovals, representing different dates in July. Each oval contains a religious figure or narrative set against minimal backgrounds with captions and the date within July. 

In the top left oval labeled "4 Julij," there is an interaction between two figures, one wearing a halo and possibly presenting an object. In the top right oval, labeled "5 Julij," a figure stands with a halo hanging from a tree, accompanied by another figure. 

In the bottom left oval, labeled "6 Julij," a scene unfolds under a tree where one figure assists or pulls another. In the bottom right oval, labeled "7 Julij," a figure with a halo holds a large cross and stands near architectural ruins. Each oval is set within a plain, textured background with labeled captions indicating the saint or figure it represents.
