"Saint Constantine and Saint Elena" is an anonymous engraving depicting the figures of Saint Constantine and Saint Elena standing on either side of a large cross. The cross is adorned with a halo of light rays and a crescent moon and sun can be seen at the top corners. The artwork is likely Russian or Eastern European as indicated by the Cyrillic text in the image. The text refers to "Saint Constantine" and "Saint Elena," likely referring to the Roman emperor and his mother. The image itself is reminiscent of traditional iconography, a style of religious art practiced in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
