DescriptionThe image depicts a central standing male figure with arms raised flanked by two angelic figures kneeling at his feet. The male figure is clothed in draped fabric with his left chest bared, he has shoulder length hair, a mustache, a beard and rays of light emanate from the back of his head. The angelic figures kneel in profile facing the central figure amidst slaps of broken stone. The backdrop of the scene is a wall of rock with a doorway opening cut in the center and lilies extending out of the base of the opening.
