Engraved print of a dying saint on a bed, with the Virgin and saints appearing in clouds above and an angel beside him.

Saint on His Deathbed Visited by the Virgin and Angels, after Guido Reni

A reclining figure lies on a bed at right while a winged angel leans over him and a candle burns on a small table nearby. Above, the Virgin and other saints appear in clouds, one reaching toward the bed, while small putti and a demon-like figure sprawl in the lower left.
