A vertically oriented ink and brown wash drawing on blue paper depicts a haloed figure kneeling with arms outstretched toward a flying angel. In the foreground, three figures with light skin tones sleep leaning against one another. To the left, tiny figures approach from a distant town. Black grid lines overlay the composition, and flowing robes are highlighted by white gouache. Light from the angel bathes the scene in chalky, opaque white.
