The image depicts a man with long hair and a beard wearing a robe and a head covering standing in the water amidst a chaotic scene. He holds a staff in one hand and a child in the other. The child has curly hair and a halo. The man stands on the right leg and has the left leg bent. The background includes a body of water with waves and several people struggling to stay afloat or swimming. There are buildings on the shoreline on either side, with trees and a rocky shoreline on the left. A boat with people is on the water in the distance. A dragon-like sea creature is in the water on the right. Several people are in the water with some on the shore. A cherub holds banners with text.
