This drawing is a late compositional study for Carpaccio's panel painting of the Virgin and Child with Four Saints in the
Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon. The Virgin and Christ Child with Saint John the Baptist and two female saints are set
against a complex landscape background inhabited by three hermit saints. At center left, Augustine speaks to the small
child; Jerome stands on the rocky arch; and Anthony Abbot sits just inside a small hut surmounted by a cross.
