Figure descriptions
A crowd gathers in a city in Persia. At the center of the crowd, a crowned man rides
a white horse. The majority of the crowd
faces him; some of the figures raise their hands in the air. Figures also watch him
or gesture toward him from the building
rooftops. In the shadows at the left side of the illustration, a figure kneels on
the ground and bows deeply toward the central
figure. At the right side of the illustration, figures in hooded cloaks gather and
raise their arms in the air. These figures face
another group of figures; together, they gesture toward the right side of the illustration.
A beam of light shines between them; it
appears to light a path for the central figure. Beams of light stream through the
clouds in the background and illuminate the
cityscape, focusing on the areas around the central figure. There are buildings and
trees in the background. Full page.
