Description:
Church scene with dozens of people with various ailments waiting to be healed by Marco d'Aviano. D'Aviano stands with one hand on the head of a man who is blind, kneeling in front of him with his weight on a cane. The man who is next in line has fainted and a small dragon and smoke rise from his mouth. A collection of crutches and canes hang on the wall and opposite rays of light shine in.

Notes:
Text from item: Vera effigies A.R.P. Marci de Aviano Concionatoris Capucini, Provincia Veneta, per Tyrolim, et Bauariam transeuntis: artatis suar Annorum 48. Anno 1680. Signa autem eos, qui crediderint, harc sequentur: In nomine meo darmonia dijcient: Linguis Loquentur nouis: serpentes tollent:et si mortiforum quid biberint non eis nocebit: super argros manus imponent, et bene habebunt. Marci 16. u. i7. et. i8. Iesus Maria. Benedic at tibi Dominus, & custodiat te, ostendat tibi faciem suam, et misereatur tui: conuertat vultum suum ad te, et det tibi pacem; Dominus benedicat te, & liberet te ab omnibus malis secundum fidem tuam: quia si potes credere omnia possibilia sunt credenti. In nomine Patris, et Fily, et Spiritus Sancti, Amen.
