The image shows a man standing on rocks, facing forward. He is holding a staff in his right hand, draped in a cloth around his waist that covers his left arm. His face has a beard and long wavy hair. Light radiates from his head, creating a halo effect. Nearby figures appear surprised or agitated, some looking up at him. The background includes clouds and trees, with small angelic figures in the clouds on the left. The scene is dynamic and detailed due to the engraving technique used.
