Engraving of a tall wooden cross with angels on clouds above, surrounded by kneeling saints in robes at its base, with trees on either side.

The Holy Cross with Saints in Adoration, Engraving after Nicolas Beatrizet

A vertical engraving showing a large wooden cross rising through the center, with a small INRI plaque at its top and angels on clouds at the crossarm. Kneeling women in robes and crowned, mitred and haloed figures gather at the base on the left and right, a palm tree and a tree frame the scene, and a cloth-draped grassy ground fills the foreground.
