A horizontally oriented print depicts a dark blue silhouette of a figure kneeling before a thin cross on a rocky slope. Facing right, the figure wears a circular halo. In the pinkish sky to the left, translucent blue figures ride broomsticks in a diagonal line. Small white circles dot the background. Below, textured blue ink creates wave-like patterns across the terrain, and a dark, craggy shape frames the right edge.
