               <figDesc>A woman kneels at an altar with a young boy and a young girl on either side. The young girl prays. The boy and woman look at
                  each other; the boy places his hand on the woman’s shoulder and the woman holds her hands clasped in front of her body. A floral
                  wreath lies on the floor in front of the figures. In the background, there is a tomb with an effigy of a man lying on his back with
                  his hands at his chest. Full-page illustration.</figDesc>
