Print shows a group of sick and crippled worshippers gathered in prayer around an effigy of the Virgin affixed to a tree; in the background is an elaborate landscape with a church and townscape, with a religious procession shown at left. At far right, a female victim of demonic possession falls back into the arms of two men as a small devil escapes from her mouth. A cartouche below the feet of the statue reads: Ego diligentes me diligo.
