A horizontally oriented etching in fine black-inked lines depicts a bearded Christ and several people with light skin tones. Christ stands centrally, enveloped in radiating beams of light with hands held before his chest. Two men kneel on the ground before him. To our left, a group sits and stands, including a man in a high-backed chair. To our right, more figures stand together in shadow.
