Engraving of a kneeling bearded cleric with a halo, hands clasped in prayer, as a winged angel and cherubs appear in clouds above him.

Saint Francis de Sales Kneeling with Angels in the Clouds

An engraving shows a bald, bearded cleric in a rochet and cassock kneeling on a stone step, hands pressed together in prayer, with a halo above his head. Above him, a winged angel reaches downward amid swirling clouds while cherubs gather at the upper right and left, and a crozier and drapery frame the scene.
