The image shows a central figure standing upright, holding a large cross. Several other figures surround the central figure, some kneeling and others bent forward. Above them, a figure is depicted in the clouds with wings, facing downwards. The scene is set in a warm, earthy, abstract background with floating figures and indistinct surroundings.
