This is a drawing of a large tree with an assembly of religious figures gathered below it. The tree has wide branches and is surrounded by robed figures. Above the tree on clouds are two seated figures with radiant light. An eagle is positioned between the tree and the clouds. The figures below appear enraptured, with a small structure in the background. The drawing emphasizes the cloaks, tree bark, and the light and clouds.
