Woodcut print of a kneeling robed man reaching toward a chariot with wheels rising into clouds, with two onlookers above in an arched frame.

Hemelvaart van Elia

A woodcut-style print in an arched frame shows a robed man kneeling on a grassy hill, reaching upward toward a chariot with spoked wheels rising into swirling clouds. Two bearded onlookers appear in the upper border, and a loose cloak drifts downward from the sky.

Una estampa de estilo xilografía dentro de un marco arqueado muestra a un hombre con túnica arrodillado en una colina con hierba, extendiendo el brazo hacia un carro de ruedas con radios que se eleva entre nubes arremolinadas. Dos observadores barbados aparecen en el borde superior, y una capa suelta desciende desde el cielo.
