Description:
A youthful Bernard sits on a stool with a book in his left hand in what looks like an arcade. His right hand is raised and he looks up at the tine figures of the Virgin and Child on a cloud in the sky. On the extreme left is the tiny figure of the devil in human form. The background is a wooded hilly landscape.
