Engraving of a kneeling bearded friar in ecstasy, supported by two winged angels, with a violin-playing angel on a cloud above.

Saint Francis of Assisi in ecstasy after receiving the stigmata, held by two angels; an angel playing the violin on a cloud. Etching by L. Vorsterman the elder after G. Seghers, 16--.

An engraved print shows a kneeling, bearded friar in a hooded robe with a rope belt, head tilted back in ecstasy. Two winged angels support him, one at right bending close and one at left, while a third angel plays a violin on a cloud above. A skull and open book lie at lower left, and a Latin inscription runs along the bottom edge.
