Octagonal landscape scene looking down a steep rocky mountainside, following the path of a meandering river down the mountain and along the valley which runs off to the right in the distance. Steep craggy mountains in the distance to left. Arched semi-circular scene above this, depicting two naked winged angels, kneeling on the grassy ground with their arms outstretched towards a young man who stands proudly between them with his arms crossed.
