In Like Manner Shall He Descend

Black and white sketch of a man sitting on a cloud. The man has curly hair and is shirtless. He wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. His left arm is raised upwards and his right arm floats beside him. The man appears to be surrounded by clouds and there are lines drawn to represent light emanating from above. There is cursive writing at the bottom of the sketch.
