This 1675 engraving by an anonymous artist, now held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the presentation of a book to Christ and Mary. The central figure is a man kneeling and holding a book open with the title "Sancti Francisci Borgiae Opera Omnia," or "The Complete Works of Saint Francis Borgia." The man appears to be receiving the book from angels, while Christ and Mary, seated in the clouds, look down on him. Surrounding the book are other figures, including kneeling women and cherubs. The engraving highlights the importance of Saint Francis Borgia's teachings and celebrates the man's work with a grand and celebratory scene.
