An etching depicting a bearded cleric pouring water from a small basin or pitcher, over a man who kneels on the ground before him. Opposite the man is a woman, also kneeling, with her arms crossed over her breast. Between them are two naked toddlers. On either side are two boys or young men in robes, presumably helping the cleric. The boy at left holds a jar with both hands. The boy at right holds a book open, with the pages facing out.
