This is an oval painting of a celestial scene featuring divine and angelic figures among clouds. In the center of the painting, a man sits on a cloud, with one arm outstretched and the other holding a large globe. This man has gray hair and wears a red garment with a deep blue cloth draped over his waist that floats up behind his head. The man is surrounded on either side by human figures with wings, some sitting on different clouds while others fly in the air. The sky behind these figures is a deep blue with fluffy white clouds. At the top of the painting is an area of bright yellow with many more angelic figures in the distance. The distant landscape below shows a large mountain on a dark blue landscape.
