Description:
A nimbed Bernard kneels with his hands folded in prayer. He looks up at a picture on the wall (or is it out of a window?) at a vision of a half-figure of Mary and Child. The Virgin bares her right breast with her hand and sends a jet of milk in the direction of Bernard. A crozier lies on the floor. Through a widow on the left a tower may be seen. Above Bernard's head is the inscription 'Bernhardus'. Apart from the inscription it is almost identical to EN66, but in reverse.
