Doctors of the Church: Pope St. Gregory the Great, Saint Ambrose, Saint Jerome, and Saint Augustine of Hippo

In the lower register of the picture, on the left a group of clergymen are kneeling, at the forefront of which is
Diego Deza, founder of the college, with three Dominicans, Alonso de Ortiz, Pedro de Ballesteros and Diego Pinel; on the right, the Emperor Charles V and a group of unidentified figures in mozzettas
; in the center on a table lies a parchment, on which several signatures can be seen, including that of Zurbarán himself.
