The painting depicts a man kneeling on one knee, with his head thrown back and his right hand on his head. He wears a red cloth wrapped around his waist and has a white beard. A lion sits to his right. There are books and a skull to his left. Two angels float on a cloud above him; one plays a trumpet and holds the other's hand. The angels have white wings and wear blue and pink cloths. The background shows a cloudy sky and mountains. The artist's signature appears in the bottom left corner. The scene is dramatic and intense. The overall mood is one of vision or revelation. The man appears to be experiencing a powerful moment.
