This is a drawing of an angel banishing two figures from a forest setting. The drawing depicts an angelic figure holding a sword, pointing it towards two human figures. The figures stand in front of a thick tree with textured bark and branching limbs. The angel is depicted with detailed wings and is wearing a tunic with elaborate patterns. The two human figures appear nude, with one holding or gesturing to another as they look backward. An apple is represented above, hanging from a branch. The illustration is created in a style resembling that of Albrecht Dürer, showing careful attention to linear detail and texture.
