The image is a print consisting of four oval illustrations, each depicting a different scene. In the top left, a man floats in water near the shore with three figures nearby. In the top right, a kneeling female figure with a halo is accompanied by a person holding a sword. In the bottom left, a man is shown by the water seemingly pulling a lifeless body from it. In the bottom right, two winged figures support a seated woman with a halo, against a background of light beams and a plain sky. Each scene is in a separate oval with minimalistic foregrounds and backgrounds highlighting the central figures.
