A circular etching in black ink depicts Christ, a man with a light skin tone and a radiant halo. Shaded with dense black hatching and draped in flowing robes, he braces a tall staff with a banner. Facing our right, he reaches toward a group of thin figures. Above, a winged figure hovers within a rocky cave. Various figures gather in the background.
