The central oval frame
shows a portrait of St.
Thomas of Villanova distributing alms while standing in front of a lectern
holding a book.
The vignette on the pedestal depicts a mother figure with three
putti. The caption on the
pedestal reads: Miserebitur tui magis quam mater. Eccli. 4
["The most High] will have mercy on
you more than a mother” (Ecclesiasticus 4:11)].
