This is a black and white engraving depicting a dramatic scene with angelic and demonic figures. The composition is centered around a cluster of infants lying on the ground, seemingly vulnerable and distressed. To the left, two angelic figures stand facing each other. One angel is more prominently lit, with large, feathered wings and a halo. The other angel is partially obscured, appearing more spectral and ethereal. Both angels are gazing towards the infants with expressions of concern or sorrow. On the right, a powerful, muscular demon stands triumphantly over the infants. The demon has large, bat-like wings and wears a crown or headdress. The demon is holding a sword aloft in one hand and appears to be exulting in the distress of the infants. The background is filled with swirling clouds and a dark, rugged landscape, creating a sense of chaos and despair. The overall mood of the image is one of conflict, tragedy, and the struggle between good and evil. The style of the engraving is reminiscent of Romantic or Gothic art, with its emphasis on emotion, drama, and the supernatural.
