Vitus Felix Rigl's "A Study for a Frontispiece: The Trinity and Saints surrounding the Sacred Hearts of Christ and the Virgin Mary, a Coastal Landscape Below" is a drawing that showcases the artist's skill in depicting a complex religious scene. The composition centers on the Sacred Hearts of Christ and the Virgin Mary, surrounded by the Holy Trinity, saints, and angels.
