Saint Carlo Borromeo: angels crown him with the approval of the Holy Trinity. Line engraving by F. Villamena, 1615, after G. Agellio.

A kneeling churchman in a white cassock and surplice, hands pressed together, gazes upward in a tiled interior. Above him, angels hold a laurel wreath toward the clouds where the Trinity is enthroned, with cherubs and clouds filling the upper register. Beneath the image, a Latin inscription and a small emblem appear within the plate border.
