Detailed Description
A vertical rectangular image depicts a detailed landscape. In the upper left, a bearded man with a halo, wearing a flowing red robe, emerges from a bright, light-yellow cloud. He holds a clear orb in his left hand and raises his right hand with two fingers extended. Below and to the right, a man with long, wavy brown hair, a beard, and a halo, stands centrally. He wears a red tunic, a blue cloak draped over his left shoulder and arm, and a green cloak over his right shoulder. His right hand is raised, palm open, fingers slightly curled, as he looks up and left towards the figure in the cloud. His left hand holds a tall, dark brown staff that rests on the ground beside him. His legs are bare, and his feet wear light-colored, open sandals, with dark red wraps around his lower shins. The background features a vast landscape under a light blue sky with scattered white, fluffy clouds, particularly on the right. On the left, rolling green hills lead to a small town with white and red-roofed buildings and a winding path with a small figure on horseback. On the right, more green hills, a body of water, and large, rounded brown rock formations are visible. Several slender trees with sparse green leaves stand on the right side of the foreground.
