This is a drawing of four oval scenes. The first scene shows a religious figure in long robes outside a small church. The second scene depicts a figure standing in a tub of water with others around and a dove flying above. The third scene shows a figure addressing a crowd on a city street. The fourth scene shows a woman in bed with figures attending to an infant. Each scene is labeled with religious or saintly names, marked "SEPT." and numerals. The drawing's style suggests intricate line work similar to engravings.
