Saint Francis beneath a Tree Praying

An etching of a kneeling elderly man in a robe, praying at the foot of a large gnarled tree beside a cave-like rocky hollow. On the left, a small crucifix hangs against the trunk, and a church with a cross stands on a hill at upper right, in a dense, shadowy landscape of hatched lines.

Español: San Francisco rezando bajo un árbol

Un aguafuerte de un anciano arrodillado con una túnica, rezando al pie de un gran árbol retorcido junto a una hondonada rocosa con forma de cueva. A la izquierda, un pequeño crucifijo cuelga del tronco, y una iglesia con cruz se alza sobre una colina en la parte superior derecha, dentro de un paisaje oscuro de trazos cruzados.
