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. On the left, the first monk, belonging the Order of St. Salvator, wears a hooded cloak, cope, and tunic with long, white sleeves, all of white color, slip-on shoes on his feet, and holds an open Bible, which he is reading, in his hands. Next, a candidate to a poor Order of St. Magdalene wears a veil and hooded cap over a cope, a long-sleeved tunic, and slip-on shoes, and holds a Bible on the right hand. The third monk, of a poor, independant order, wears a hooded cloak over a belted, mid-length tunic with long sleeves and trousers, all of black color. He is barefoot and carries a staff with a crucifix on the left hand and a rosary on the right. Finally, a member of the choir of the Regular Dominican Order wears a biretta, chasuble, tunic with long, wide sleeves, and slip-on shoes. His clothing would have been of black color.
