The image depicts a large crowd crossing a parted sea. Numerous figures are shown amidst the scene, some with arms raised towards the sky. Others are leading animals like camels, horses, and sheep. The sea is depicted with frothy waves on one side, creating walls of water for safe passage on a dry path. In the background, more individuals are visible. The drawing captures a moment of divine intervention and human relief, focusing on gestures and interactions among figures.
