Oil on canvas.
The canvas is taken up with a portrait of the subject’s head and shoulders. Upon their forehead is painted a scene: A candle lighting up an otherwise dark place. Within the candle’s flame can be seen an angel bearing the face of the subject. In the dark at the edges can be seen many demons, also with the face of the subject, crawling towards the edge of the light - their hands, with long fingers and claws, reaching toward the light and the angel.
