This is a painting featuring an angel, a monk, and a figure in a window. The angel is holding a rope connected to the monk who is kneeling at an altar with a chalice. Beside the monk, inside a frame or window, there is a figure with visible wounds on their chest. Below the altar, there are two nude figures in flames. The composition includes strong lines and bold colors like red, green, and yellow. The style is reminiscent of early woodcut prints used in religious texts.
