A vertically oriented engraving in dense black-inked fine lines depicts people with light skin tones gathered around a table in a columned hall. Christ sits beneath a central canopy in the background as onlookers watch from balconies. In the foreground, a muscular man crouches with his back toward us. To the right, a woman and child stand together, the woman holding a vessel. Fine cross-hatching shades the architectural interior.
