This is a drawing of a group of individuals seated around a table. The image depicts twelve individuals gathered around a rectangular table in a room with windows. The central figure has rays emanating from their head and appears to be gesturing or distributing to the others at the table. The individuals are dressed in robes, and their body language suggests conversation or engagement in an important event. The figures are arranged symmetrically around the table, with six individuals on each side. The room has sparse decoration, with two windows visible on the walls. Below the drawing, a block of text is written in German.
