Engraving of many robed saints and nuns in rows, some holding scrolls, with a central group around a woman figure.

Saints, martyrs, Blessed Virgins and Nuns of the Augustinian order, in the centre, Saint Monica. Engraving by Oliviero Gatti, 1614.

A dense engraved sheet filled with rows of saints, martyrs, and nuns in flowing robes, many holding scrolls with inscriptions. Clusters of figures crowd the upper and lower registers, with a central group of figures surrounding a seated woman at the heart of the composition. Fine parallel hatching models the drapery and the crowded architecture of clouds and banners.

Español: Santos y monjas agustinas reunidos en torno a santa Mónica, grabado, 1614

Una hoja grabada muy densa, llena de filas de santos, mártires y monjas con túnicas fluidas, muchos sosteniendo pergaminos con inscripciones. Grupos de figuras llenan los registros superior e inferior, y un conjunto central rodea a una mujer sentada en el centro de la composición. Un trazo fino de líneas paralelas modela los pliegues y las nubes.

Uma folha gravada muito densa, com fileiras de santos, mártires e freiras em vestes fluidas, muitos segurando pergaminhos com inscrições. Grupos de figuras lotam as faixas superior e inferior, e um conjunto central cerca uma mulher sentada no centro da composição. Hachuras finas e paralelas modelam os drapejados e as nuvens.
