About this work

Peter, a nobleman, walks into a church. Devils and demons surround him. Saint Dominic gives a rosary to a follower and advises him to pray for the salvation of the sinful Peter. In the background on the left, the vision of Mary handing the rosary to Saint Dominic. The print has a Latin inscription with legend and is part of a fifteen-part series on the miracles of the rosary.
