A full-page engraving depicts a religious and moral allegory. On the left stands a demon with horns, a protruding tongue, a hairy body, and bird-like talons. From the demon's mouth and body, seven ribbons or scrolls extend to wrap around a woman in the center, binding her. The woman stands in a prayerful pose with her hands clasped, facing Jesus Christ on the right. Christ is shown with a radiant halo, a beard, and flowing robes, gesturing toward the woman. A single scroll extends from the woman's mouth toward Christ, representing her prayer.
