Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts a crowded scene with multiple figures. On the far left, a tall, narrow, light-colored building with two pointed arched windows and a crenellated top edge stands against a dark background. The building's surface shows a cracked texture. In the center-left, a woman in a long, light green dress kneels, her head bowed, with a golden halo around her head. To her immediate left, a man in a long, bright orange tunic with gold trim stands, facing her. Surrounding the kneeling woman are approximately ten other men. Many wear tunics in shades of red, blue, and brown, often with gold trim. Several men wear dark helmets and carry long staffs or spears. One man in a light blue tunic leans over the kneeling woman, appearing to touch her head. The men's faces are depicted with varying expressions. The upper right two-thirds of the background is a textured gold leaf, showing cracks and some darker areas, with a small, dark crescent shape visible in the upper center. The ground beneath the figures is a dark green-brown.
