Description:
Woodcut from 1514 included in the work of Pietro de Natali entitled 'Catalogus sanctorum et gestorum eorum' which depicts the scene from the 'Vita Prima' in which Bernard exorcises a woman as a result of which the devil is seen coming out of her mouth. The scene is witnessed by three men, probably those who in the account are said to have restrained her.
