Saint Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata

A robed St. Francis kneels in the left foreground with hands raised to receive the stigmata from a winged figure of Christ in the sky above. In the right foreground sits a similarily robed friar with a book on his knee. Behind the figures is a stylized landscape of hills, plants and trees with birds perched in them. In the right background is a white building with a chimney; in the left background is a white building with a cross on the roof.
