Detailed Description
A panoramic image shows multiple scenes with numerous figures in an urban setting. The image is divided into three main groups of figures, set against architectural backdrops and a distant landscape. On the left, within a grey building featuring two dark doorways and gold-accented pilasters, a group of ten figures surrounds a person lying in a bed draped with blue fabric. A figure in a white and red robe kneels beside the bed, holding the hand of the recumbent person. Other figures, dressed in white robes, red cloaks, or green cloaks, stand around, some with hands raised to their faces. A red banner hangs from a pilaster on the far left. The central scene takes place outdoors on a reddish-brown ground. A group of about ten figures gathers around an open, light brown wooden coffin containing a shrouded body. Nearby, another body, dressed in blue and red garments, lies prone on a white cloth on the ground. A dark horse with a saddle stands behind the coffin. Among the figures are individuals in white robes, some with red or pink cloaks. One figure in a white robe holds a staff topped with a cross and a green banner. A figure in a pink tunic kneels near the prone body. To the right, another group of figures is spread across the reddish-brown ground. These figures wear a mix of red cloaks, white robes, and a green cloak. One figure in a white robe sits on a green mat on the ground. In the background, an open archway of a light-colored building reveals a smaller group of figures in white and red robes gathered around a table. The distant background features rolling green hills under a light blue sky. The buildings are rendered with simple, geometric forms.
