This is a drawing of a biblical judgment scene. The intricate line work shows human figures and animals, possibly goats, being led to the right. Above them, a figure on a goat-like creature is surrounded by radiant lines. On the top left, two figures appear on clouds. The setting is chaotic, with a sense of movement and urgency. The bottom has text in an old script, reinforcing religious themes.
