The image depicts a scene with multiple figures. A bearded man is shown floating or being carried by cherubic figures. He has a full head of hair and a long beard, and his expression is intent as he points with one hand and stretches the other towards a door. He is dressed in a long robe. Beside him, three cherubic figures assist him in the air. Below, another man kneels with a child clinging to him; this man also has a beard and is clothed in a similar long robe. To the right, a woman stands holding a child; she is wearing a long dress with her hair tied back, and behind her, another child peeks from inside the doorway. The setting includes a sturdy wooden door and a ground covered with grass and a few small plants.
