The man (Christ) stands in the center with arms open extending out his right arm toward the people and raising up his left in a benediction gesture. Half the crowd on the right is kneeling, some reclining, one person rests in a wheeled cart. Those on the left are standing, most look toward Christ as light emanates from him. The etching is drawn with deeper shadows on the right. A few animals are also depicted in the crowd such as a dog lying down on the left, and a cow in the deep shadows on right.
