Dark painting of a glowing robed figure with outstretched arms, flanked by muscular crouching nude figures and crescent moons, with tangled figures below.

A luminous, robed figure stands at the center of a dark, swirling composition, arms outstretched within a golden halo. Muscular nude figures crouch at the upper left and right beneath crescent moons, while tangled bodies and flames fill the shadowy lower register in watercolor and ink.
