A very large painted canvas (220 x 110 cm) that can be unrolled, depicting two bishops wearing mitres and holding the palm of martyrdom. The one on the right has a halo and may be Saint Leodegar of Autun (616-679), whose cult spread as far as Switzerland. Indeed, C. F. Deckler, born in Bretzingen, Germany, worked in Lucerne, Switzerland, between 1874 and 1889. Saint Leodegar was the patron saint of Lucerne. The one on the left may be a doctor of the church with his book. The two figures stand under arches separated by small columns in a very elegant Gothic architectural setting. What is the significance of the coats of arms beneath the two figures (signatures or patrons)? A cord allows it to be unrolled as needed.
