This is a drawing depicting two realms. On the left side, there is a creature with horns in flames, grasping another figure. The lower scene is chaotic. On the right side, angels are above a serene sky, carrying a calm figure. The upper scene is peaceful. Below, there is a landscape with trees and a castle, representing the earthly plane.
