This is a drawing of a classical illustration within a book page. The central figure is gesturing upwards, surrounded by others in varying postures. The central figure is seated on a rock and is partially clothed. Two other figures are standing to the left, while another figure sits to the right. The scene features dark clouds, light shining from above, and architectural structures in the background. Cherubic figures are depicted below, holding symbols and scrollwork around a text panel.
