Description: This image depicts a cardinal sitting in a large chair in the centre of the page. He is illustrated holding a long staff and wearing a capelo on his head. His left hand is raised as he speaks to the men sitting beside him. There is an arzoobispo [archbishop] sitting on the cardinal’s right and a obispo [bishop] to the cardinal’s left. They are both looking towards the cardinal as they listen to him. The cardinal is seated in the centre to demonstrate that he is a higher order than the archbishop and bishop.
