A vertical woodcut print in bold black lines depicts the Last Judgment. Centered, Christ sits on a rainbow with a sword and lily branch in his mouth. Below, crowned Mary and bearded John the Baptist kneel with light skin tones and hands joined in prayer. Beneath them, nude figures rise from graves; some enter a gate on our left, while others enter a fanged mouth on our right. Inscribed Latin text lines the bottom.
