content: Perspective view showing the interior of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. At left, a procession moves down the length of the nave, viewed through two wide arched openings. A baptismal font at front left is surrounded by decorative floor panels. At front right, a figure in a red cloak holding a papal cross kneels before an open book, looking up and extending his hands with palms facing up. Stairs ascend to a balcony behind him, and a column cuts across the foreground at right. The windows of the church are cut out, with patterned fabric mimicking stained glass, covered in a plasticky material, and thread visible through the openings. Printed along bottom margin: A Paris chés Daumont rue S. Martin.
