This etching by Pierre Brebiette, created between 1608 and 1650, depicts Saint Roch of Montpellier lying down in a landscape with a dog. Roch is a popular saint who is known for his healing powers and his association with plague. An angel tends to him in the foreground, while in the distance, a cityscape with people can be seen. The composition of the piece emphasizes the religious context of Saint Roch's story while also providing a glimpse into the artist's fascination with landscape. The small scale of the piece suggests it was likely intended for personal devotion or private collection.
