Description: The top of the image shows a sun with a face, shining down on three other figures in the picture. On the left side is a man in a robe with a worried expression, running away from the wild being blown at him. The wind is blown by an angel on top of a cloud on the right side. Standing underneath the clouds is one other man, who stands away from the other man noted, looking up at the clouds. In the background stands some rolling hills and greenery.
