This drawing depicts angels interacting with a reclined figure in a celestial setting. Several winged figures are shown amidst clouds, some holding objects like a chalice and a radiant orb. The central figure is reclining on a surface with tattered clothing, surrounded by symbolic items including an open book with a skull on it. A lion is peacefully lying beside the central figure. The composition is done in shades of brown with dynamic forms typical of Baroque religious artwork.
