Español: Cuerpo de Cristo llevado al cielo por ángeles

Un grabado en madera en blanco y negro muestra un cuerpo inerte y envuelto en telas, elevado por ángeles a través de nubes y rayos de luz hacia una figura radiante en gloria en la parte superior. Figuras más pequeñas observan desde la distancia media, mientras líneas finas y entrecruzadas modelan el cielo, las nubes y la tela.

Português: Corpo de Cristo levado ao céu por anjos

Uma xilogravura em preto e branco mostra um corpo inerte e envolto em panos, erguido por anjos através de nuvens e raios de luz em direção a uma figura radiante em glória no alto. Figuras menores observam à distância média, enquanto linhas finas e cruzadas modelam o céu, as nuvens e o tecido.
