This is a drawing of a group of individuals surrounding a seated figure. The landscape in the drawing features rolling hills and sparse foliage. The individuals are seated at the base of the hills, with one figure sitting on an elevated spot and gesturing. This figure is emitting light with rays extending from their head. A large tree on the right-hand side frames the landscape, and the figures all have rounded halos. The artwork showcases intricate details in the textures of the drapery, foliage, and natural landscape, suggesting careful composition.
