The image shows an angel helping a figure in a robe against a backdrop with architectural elements and a distant tower. The scene has a figure kneeling in prayer with an angel nearby, surrounded by vertical and diagonal lines. To the right, there is a landscape with a tower. In the foreground, two staffs lean against the wall, and there is an inscription at the bottom. The drawing is done in a style emphasizing line and texture with influences from Gothic and Renaissance styles.
