A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts a circular frame containing a hippopotamus-like Behemoth above a coiled, scaly Leviathan. Above, a bearded man points downward from clouds, flanked by two angels, over kneeling figures. A decorative border features winged beings. Below, the words: "Behold now Behemoth which I made with thee." At the top: "Can any understand the spreadings of the Clouds the noise of his Tabernacle."
