This is a print depicting a woman surrounded by cherubic heads. She stands in the center of the print, looking down and to the right. She is dressed in long, draped robes, and appears to glow with radiating lines of light. Around her, in this circle of light, are the heads of five children with wings around them. The woman points downward towards a man in the bottom right corner of the print. He sits on the ground, his legs in front of him, stuck inside holes in a wooden rectangle with a lock on the side. He is looking up at the woman, his arms bent and raised up in front of him. He has short, wavy hair and a beard, and he wears a long cloth garment. The scene is set in a space with large arches on the ceiling and a barred window on the right. Below the print are some lines of text.
