The print shows Peter in the foreground, standing next to a building and extending his hand towards a man kneeling on the ground with a woman and a child, who is being healed. The engraving has a detailed background featuring a crowd of people and a landscape with trees and a building in the distance.

The detail and realism in the depiction of the figures and the landscape contribute to the overall impactful and educational value of the print.
