This is a drawing of figures and a burning altar. The image depicts a scene showing a figure with a sword on his back standing next to a kneeling figure near an altar. An angelic figure emerges from swirling clouds above them, reaching out with one hand. The setting shows rolling hills, a village, and a dense wooded area. There are substantial curvilinear lines in the clouds and the angel's garments. The drawing has high contrast between the ink lines and the lighter background.
