Description
A bearded man in a classical red drape looks upwards in anguish or awe as he reacts to a winged figure blowing a trumpet. A cherub accompanies the winged figure, and a fierce lion can be seen in the shadows at the lower right corner, adding a sense of danger or foreboding to the scene. The dramatic use of light and shadow enhances the intense emotional expression of the characters, indicative of Baroque artistic styles.
