The engraving depicts a man with long curly hair, wearing a robe, on one knee, with one arm bent upwards towards a bright light. An angel with curly hair and wings holds a chalice and appears to be descending from the sky with rays of light emanating from their body. A figure on the left side leans on a sword. A tree with branches is to the left. In the background, there are buildings and a road. The scene is dated 1515. The overall mood seems somber. The style appears detailed with heavy use of lines. The scene depicts Christ on the Mount of Olives by Albrecht Dürer.
