This drawing is of a detailed interior scene with figures in a cave-like environment. There is a contrast between the illuminated figures near the entrance and those in the deeper, darker parts of the cave. At the top there is another scene showing smaller figures holding and casting shadows. There is Latin text above and below the drawing.
