- Description
- A renaissance style vertical drawing. At the top, there is a man emerging from a cloud holding a lightening bolt riding an eagle. In the center, there is a tipped cart of animals spilling out: four hourses and a man. At the bottom there are women, a man, and a child looking at the scene above them, cowering. The old man lays with his arm over a vessel leaking water turning into a stream.
