Engraved print of a dying saint on a bed, with the Virgin and saints appearing in clouds above and an angel beside him.

A saint lying on his death bed is visited by the Virgin, saints and angels. Etching by B. Picart after G. Reni.

A reclining figure lies on a bed at right while a winged angel leans over him and a candle burns on a small table nearby. Above, the Virgin and other saints appear in clouds, one reaching toward the bed, while small putti and a demon-like figure sprawl in the lower left.
