This is a drawing of four circular vignette illustrations arranged in a grid, each depicting different scenes. The top left scene shows a stylized whipping, the top right shows a praying figure alongside architectural details, the bottom left depicts figures engaged in a confrontation, while the bottom right features a robed figure holding staffs. Each vignette is distinctly labeled with dates in September and Latin annotations. The lines are minimal and fine.
