This pencil drawing by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones features St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children, holding a young child in his arms, and St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Both saints are depicted in elaborate robes, with St. Nicholas holding a crosier and St. Stephen holding a book and palm branch. The detailed rendering of their clothing and the serene expressions of the figures are characteristic of Burne-Jones’s style, which was inspired by medieval art.
