The Penitence of Saint John Chrysostom

A nude woman with long, flowing hair reclines on the ground in a wooded landscape, cradling a child at her side, while a stag stands at the left edge and a hare rests at the right. Black lines in this engraving on ivory laid paper model the foliage, rocks, and a distant figure kneeling on a rocky outcrop.
