A man stands in the center with crowds gathered around him, some kneeling or laying down in front of him.

The bearded man (Christ) is holding both arms out toward the people, left hand raised higher in benediction, light emanates from his head. A woman is kneeling to the right of Christ in praying gesture looking up at him. Several other people in various poses look toward Christ. A man in robes and large hat stands off to the left holding a staff behind his back, with his back to the viewer.　The background contains undefined textures of light and darks with the suggestion of an arched wall on the right. The details of the print appear faint overall.
