Der heilige Augustinus bekehrt König Æthelberht von Kent

William Blake, wahrscheinlich um 1793

The image shows a sketch of several figures engaged in a seated discussion. Most figures are visible from their heads to either their waists or feet, with a focus on central figures. The central figure on the left has a long beard and appears seated, gesturing with one hand. Another figure in front of him, bald with pronounced facial features, leans forward. Surrounding figures are sketched lightly, with some only showing their heads and upper bodies. Their facial features vary from outlined to detailed expressions. All figures wear long robes. The background lacks detail, focusing on the figures themselves.
