This is a drawing of two figures and a supernatural being. One figure holds a sword and the other kneels before a flaming altar. An angelic figure with wings appears above them, reaching out towards the figures. The background shows rolling hills and clouds. The artwork features detailed line work and contrasts of light and shadow.
