Description de l’image
This is a drawing featuring a gathering under a figure in the clouds. The central figure is ascending on a cloud with attendants. Below, a crowd of individuals is gathered, looking upwards. The scene includes architectural elements and has a dramatic contrast of white highlights on brownish paper. The figures are detailed with shadows and lines in flowing robes, typical of the Renaissance period.
