A landscape-mode drawing of a man walking on a dirt path, with an angel walking alongside. The angel's face is visible as he turns toward his left to look at the man. The viewer sees the man from the back only. On the man's other side, a little dog prances. In the middle of the painting, there is a tall hill or mountain visible in the far distance. The figures are all on the right side of the drawing. The left side is taken up with vegetation growing out of the ground; the sky; and a cityscape barely visible in the far distance.
