Saraceni, Paradise: Detail, saints on right

The figures in the center of this detail are St. Cecilia, St. Peter (short, square beard), and St. Paul (with his attribute, the sword). Moses stands behind Peter and Paul, reminding them of the commandments of the old law. On the left a woman plays an organ to which Cecilia is pointedly not listening.
