Español: Cuerpo de Cristo llevado al cielo por ángeles

Un grabado en madera en blanco y negro muestra un cuerpo masculino inerte, envuelto en una tela ondulante, elevado por ángeles alados a través de nubes hacia un resplandor de luz radiante. Una corona de espinas aparece en la parte superior derecha, y un pequeño ángel abajo a la izquierda y otro a la derecha sostienen la figura entre nubes densas de trama.
