336 PETER PAUL RUBENS.
342. St. Barbara. This figure appears to have been borrowed
from an antique statue, and it represents the saint standing
erect, with a palm branch in one hand, and the other ex-
tended and concealed in the folds of her robe. A cherub
is visible in the clouds. Engraved by S. a Bolswert.

343. St. Barbara. This print exhibits the saint standing
erect, in a front view, holding a chalice in one hand, on
which her attention is fixed, and a palm branch in the other.
Above is seen an angel, kneeling on a cloud, placing a wreath
on her head. Engraved by 0. Galle.

344. St. Catharine. The saint is represented standing
erect in a side view, with the wrist of one hand resting on the
hilt of a sword, and holding a palm branch in the other. A
pedestal surmounted by a portion of a column, is behind her.
Engraved by S. a Bolswert. See also No. 1055, Vol. n.

345. St. Francis receiving the Stigmates. He is repre-
sented in a front view, kneeling on a rock, with his hands
extended receiving the mystical impressions from the Sa-
viour’s wounds, conveyed from the apparition of a winged
figure in the heavens. A second monk is seen a little dis-
tance off, witnessing the event. Engraved by F. Pilsen.

346. A Head of the Saviour represented in profile,
his hair parted in front and falling on his shoulders. En-
graved in an oval of the size of life, by P. Pontius, after a
drawing by Rubens; and in reverse by A. E. Rucholli.
Described from the print.
