In this print, a group of robed figures is gathered at the entrance of a stone structure with an arched doorway on the left and several steps leading up to it. A woman stands on the steps, facing the right, with a man in the doorway behind her. A crowd of other people is approaching the steps, facing the left. The woman has a halo behind her head, as do two of the people facing her. The background on the right shows more buildings, and the sky above has thin swirling lines and the shapes of a few small birds. There is a small dog near the bottom left, looking up the stairs towards the woman. Below the print is a line of text. “
