An illustrated life of Saint Teresa of Avila, the Discalced Carmelite founder, published in Rome in 1716 and engraved by Arnold van Westerhout for a devotional readership. The four plates show Teresa in visionary scenes with angels, clouds and Christ, drawn with dense crosshatching and framed by Latin captions, offering a designer strong models for baroque religious engraving and emblem-style text panels.
