Young Cattle in Meadow in Voorst, Richard Tepe, vintage gelatin print
On the left, stands a line of tall poplar trees. One tree, half grown, stands near the center. Livestock grazes in a grassy field. A windmill turns in the distance. Wind blows in from the right side causing the trees to bend slightly to the left.
In an oval format: in the center, in highest relief, Saint Anthony of Padua kneels on clouds, with his left hand placed on the open book before him and his right pressed over his heart. He gazes above him at the Christ Child. Incised rays radiate from the Child. Below Anthony's book are lilies, and two cherubim. In front of Anthony, in lower relief, is a half-length St. Peter holding two keys in his left hand. Behind Anthony, also in low relief, is St. Lawrence with both hands resting on the gridiron in front of him.
Abstract design of triangular and rectangular forms in primarily black, mustard, brown, red, and green.
