At the far left, a winged, naked female figure with a golden halo holds up a branch in leaf, stretching her arm towards the scene of destruction on the right where a shoot with leaves can be seen on a blasted tree. The branch and rainbow-like arc in the sky reference the Old Testament symbols of life and hope after The Flood.
