About this work

A brown ink and wash drawing shows a seated, robed figure dictating to a secretary who writes at a desk beside lit candles, with bookshelves filling the room behind. An arched frame topped by a cherub surrounds the scene, and an inscription beneath reads that St. Gregory is dictating his homilies, signed Carle Vanloo.
