In this image, we see an illustration of two figures, set within an arched backdrop with a radiating pattern emanating from behind one of the figures. One figure is dressed in what appears to be a monk's brown robe, and the other is clad in a blue garment with a flowing white veil. The figure in blue is sitting, while the figure in the robe stands over with one hand reaching out. On the table in front of them, there is a golden chalice and some scattered coins. The scene is framed by an ornate border, and below the illustration, the words "SYMPTOMS OF SANCTITY" are printed in bold capital letters. The style of the artwork suggests it is from a historical period or created to mimic a historical style, likely designed to critique or convey a message about sanctity or morality, as indicated by the title.

The image is a satirical cartoon titled "Symptoms of Sanctity" by James Gillray, created in 1782. It depicts a monk, likely a Franciscan, with a bald head and wearing a brown robe, leaning over a woman who is dressed in blue and white. The woman has her hands clasped together and appears to be in a state of distress or fear. The monk's face is contorted in a grotesque expression, suggesting he is trying to force something into her mouth. In the foreground, a golden chalice and a rosary are visible on a table in front of the woman. The background features an arched stone structure, which adds to the sense of grandeur and religiosity. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of tension and unease, as the monk's actions seem to be causing the woman distress. The title "Symptoms of Sanctity" is written at the bottom of the image, implying that the monk's behavior is a manifestation of his supposed piety or holiness. However, the cartoon's satirical tone suggests that the monk's actions are actually a form of hypocrisy or corruption. The image is a commentary on the excesses of the Catholic Church during the 18th century and the perceived corruption of its clergy.
