This is a drawing depicting a celestial apparition inside a room. The left panel shows a framed opening revealing a landscape with a divine figure surrounded by clouds emitting rays of light from their head. Below are mountainous terrains, forests, and buildings. The right side of the drawing shows two figures in a room, with one appearing lifeless and the other cradling them while raising an arm upward. The floor is depicted with linear patterns to signify wooden floorboards. The style of the drawing is detailed and intricate, reminiscent of early modern-era woodcuts or prints.
