Black and white illustration of a biblical scene. A woman sits on a beast with seven heads and ten horns, surrounded by flames. She is wearing a lavish dress and jewels. Several people stand around her, some looking on and one holding a cup. In the background, an angel pours a vessel of fire onto a city. Above, another angel flies through the clouds with a sphere. The artist's signature "AD" is in the bottom center.
