DescriptionA robed man is kneeling on a cushion.  He is surrounded by 8 angels.  Above his head the clouds are parted between the angels and a dove hovers directly above them.  On the left, in the shadows is an ornate thing topped with a crucified Christ, which looks like a hat worn by a pope or other high church official.  Signed on plate:  A. Carace jn. pinx./ Io.
