This is an illustration of a person descending from a tower towards a boat on a river. The figure appears to be holding a large piece of fabric. Below, two individuals are seated in a small boat on a body of water, one of them reaching upwards towards the descending figure while the other looks on with a sense of amazement or concern, holding an oar. The scene is set under a night sky with visible clouds and a crescent moon.
