Saints Peter, Martha, Mary Magdalen, and Leonard

Four saints stand together in a dark, wooded setting. An older bald man at left holds keys and a book, a veiled woman in blue-green looks down, and a young woman in a yellow bodice holds a small jar. At the lower center, a small dragon lies on a cord, and a bearded man in a brown habit stands at right.

Look closer: A small dragon lies at the feet of the figures, held by a cord.
