The work, inspired by a passage from the golden legend of santiago de la vorágine, represents saint francis of assisi and saint dominic de guzmán, contemplating the appearance of god the savior, angry and ready to punish sinners, and that of the virgin imploring forgiveness for them, promising that both will preach the faith of christ for all nations. This work is a preparatory sketch for the canvas of the same name painted by its author for the series of the life of saint francis of assisi in the royal basilica of saint francis the great in madrid.
