In this work we see five dogs, a horse, and a man. According to the story, Placidus (PLA-sid-us), a Roman general, was hunting when he saw a deer with a glowing crucifix between its antlers. This vision led Placidus to fall on his knees and convert to the Christian faith. At that time he took the name Eustace.
