Reverse description A standing female figure in a small boat on choppy waves reaches upward toward a divine hand emerging from clouds, alluding to her soul's reception into heaven. A tall lighthouse or beacon tower rises in the center, and a large sailing ship appears to the right, with a fortified harbor town visible to the left.
