An oval picture with a woman kneeling holding a snake(?). She is dressed in a long dress and is barefoot. At her feet a sash with the date. Behind her two women look over her shoulder. To the R an angel is tied with a gold rope to a large tree. In the background are the houses of a village and on the hill on the L are many people. The outside of the oval is decorated with a rose and rosebud swag, stalks of wheat and at the top another swag of various flowers. Added on the top are two flying doves holding ropes entwined with centered hearts.
