This is a drawing of a group of people; in the foreground, there is a figure standing next to a donkey, which carries a cloaked figure with a halo around their head who is cradling something. Opposite them, a winged figure is guiding a boat with a pole. The figures are dressed in flowing garments. In the background is a flat landscape leading up to a body of water. The sky features many large clouds with rays of light shining through them.
