The image is detailed, showcasing Saint Dominic preaching to a crowd, with a smaller scene above depicting a larger assembly of saints. The engraving is a good example of the popular 17th-century religious imagery. It's a depiction of the power of faith and the role of saints in protecting the faithful from evil. This piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is an important example of the artist's work, representing the fervor and religiosity of the period.
