Brush and watercolour on parchment, heightened with gold, ca. 12 x 9 cm.
1. A burning heart surrounded by a halo topped with flames and a cross centred on a crown of thorns and bordered by flowers. With text: "O coeur adorable, soÿez nous favorable, de mon Jesus le sacré coeur, est le refuge des pecheurs". 2. A pierced heart with growing flower on top lying in nature against an urban background: "Non coronabitur nisi qui legitime certaverit": Without legitimite battle there is no victory, without faith there is no heaven.
