A horizontally oriented print in black ink depicts Saint Amand, a man with a light skin tone standing in a wooded clearing. Shaded with fine hash marks and crosshatching, he wears heavily folded robes and a circular halo. His right arm extends toward a seated crowd. Tall trees with dense, textured foliage frame the scene. In the distance, a village features rectangular houses with triangular roofs. Short, straight lines define the uneven ground.
