Engraving, part of the second part of 'Omnium pene Europae, Asiae, Aphricae atque Americae Gentium Habitus' (Costumes of the various nations of Europe, Asia, Africa and America), a series of prints representing figures wearing ecclesiastical vestments from various parts of the world, engraved by Abraham de Bruyn and published by Joos de Bosscher in 1581.
The engraving represents four monks of different religious orders.

The second monk, of a regular fraternal order, wears a biretta, hooded cape, cloak and long-sleeved tunic, and holds a hat in his right hand, all of black color. The third monk, possibly from another fraternal order clothed in black, wears a hooded cape, cloak and long-sleeved tunic. Finally, a monk of the First Agustinian Order wears a hooded cape with pointed back and belted tunic with long, wide sleeves, all of black color, and holds an open Bible in his hands, which is reading.
