Visual Summary

Brief Description

Black and white image of a haloed figure, a deer, and two robed figures in an ornate building

Detailed Description

This black and white artwork presents a complex scene divided into an outdoor landscape on the left and an architectural structure on the right. In the upper left, a robed figure with a halo floats amidst radiating light, with arms extended. Below this figure, a deer stands facing right in a field of dark, dense plants. The right side of the image is dominated by a multi-story building with a highly ornate roof featuring multiple spires and circular window designs. In the upper part of the building, a dark, winged figure descends head-first from the roofline towards a window. Through a window opening on the left side of the building, a person with long robes is visible, holding their hands to their head. To the right, within an arched alcove, a seated figure with a halo is depicted. The figure wears long robes, has hands clasped together, and looks downwards. Above the figure, within the arch, faint text is visible: "hic in loco debui intrare".
