Etching of a bird with spread wings on a grassy hilltop, with small towers and figures on a flat horizon.

Kloosterleven in emblemen

An etched landscape shows a large bird with outspread wings perched atop a grassy mound, with faint hatched wisps rising beneath it. Small towers and distant figures stand on the flat horizon under a hatched sky, in a fine black-line print.

Español: Vida monástica en emblemas

Un grabado al aguafuerte muestra un ave grande con las alas extendidas posada sobre un montículo cubierto de hierba, con tenues trazos sombreados que se elevan debajo de ella. Pequeñas torres y figuras lejanas se alzan en el horizonte plano bajo un cielo rayado, en una fina impresión en blanco y negro.

Português: Vida monástica em emblemas

Uma gravura em água-forte mostra uma grande ave de asas abertas pousada sobre um monte coberto de grama, com tênues traços hachurados subindo abaixo dela. Pequenas torres e figuras distantes se erguem no horizonte plano sob um céu hachurado, em uma fina impressão em preto e branco.
