This is a drawing of individuals observing or worshiping a celestial phenomenon. It depicts a group of figures, some kneeling, others standing, looking up towards the top right of the composition where wavy tendrils seem to emanate from a point outside the frame. The figures are clothed in ornate, historical attire suggestive of a European style. The central figure, clad in armor, draws attention as he projects his attention skywards, flanked by richly robed individuals in various poses of reverence. The scene is designed with finely detailed lines.
