A horizontally oriented woodcut features textured tree trunks framing a gathering of robed figures. A prominent trunk stands in the center foreground. To the left, eight figures with light skin tones stand amidst vertical trees. To the right, about twelve figures gather; some sit on the ground while others stand. In the background, dense, wavy lines suggest a body of water behind the forest. A signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
