Oil painting of plague patients in a hospital ward beneath a vision of a saint in brown robes with a staff and a dog.

Saint Roch in a Vision Above Plague Patients in a Hospital

A small predella panel in oil shows a plague ward: a man in a red-draped bed reclines beside a woman and a figure with arms outstretched, while two more patients rest in beds behind. Above, a saint in a brown robe holds a staff and gestures toward a dog at a cloud-lit vision.
