This is a print of a group of people. On the right, there is a person standing next to a donkey. Riding on the donkey is a cloaked person with a halo around their head who is cradling something. Opposite them, on the left, a winged person is guiding a boat with a pole. The people are dressed in flowing garments. In the background is a flat landscape leading up to the body of water on the left. The sky features many large, billowing clouds with rays of light shining through them.
