This is a drawing of two figures surrounded by ornate candleholders and clouds. In this composition, one figure is seated on a cloud holding keys and a scroll, with a halo around its head. Below, another figure kneels, touching one of the candleholders, which stand tall, forming a decorative archway around them. The background is filled with swirling clouds and an aura of light radiates around the seated figure. The intricate detailing of the clothing, hair, and faces give this drawing an ornate, classical feel.
