Description

At Coldham Hall in England, Mary obtained the conversion of a very wealthy but obstinately heretical lady after many learned men had vainly employed all their zeal and eloquence in trying to convert her. The touch of Mary's hands and her friendly words effected such a change in this lady, that she exclaimed: I will be a Catholic, confess my sins, and do everything to show that my conversion is genuine. This she most zealously fulfilled before she died.

The Scene

Four different scenes are represented in this painting.

Mary is seen on the left with perhaps 3 companions beside her and the lady in the bed.

On the right is perhaps the family who lived in Coldham Hall - the Rookwood family.

Mary is speaking to a priest in the foreground after hearing the confession of the woman.
