This is a drawing of a scene depicting a central figure on a cloud surrounded by angelic figures blowing trumpets. Below them, there are various figures being herded onto boats, with strange creatures around. On one side, monstrous figures are present, while on the opposite side, the figures flow out of a giant egg-like form. Many people are shown in lines, with fantastical creatures throughout the image. The composition contrasts between the celestial peace above and the chaotic scene below.
