The Risen Christ sits in a vineyard with an elaborately dressed woman who wears a crown and appears to symbolize the Catholic Church or simply Faith. We know he is the risen Christ because of the nail wounds in his hands and foot. He points up the the docve of the Holy Spirit. The woman looks up, away from the open book on her lap, to see the dove. Netherlands, Europe
