Detailed Description
A horizontal rectangular painting depicts a scene with multiple figures on the right and a landscape on the left. The left side features a large, framed landscape showing a body of water, possibly a lake or sea, with a small boat. Green hills and a town with various buildings surround the water, and a bridge or dam crosses it. In the background, tall, jagged mountains rise under a blue sky. The right side of the painting shows a group of approximately ten figures on a light brown floor against a dark brown architectural background with columns. On the far right, two men in long, dark brown or black robes stand, facing left. The man closer to the center has a light halo and gestures with his right hand towards the group. The other robed man stands slightly behind him. In the center-left foreground, a woman in an orange dress kneels, holding a baby wrapped in white cloth. Another woman kneels beside her, looking up at the robed men. Both women wear white head coverings. Behind them, several men stand, most of whom are bearded, wearing tunics and cloaks in various colors such as red, green, blue, and grey. One man on the far left of this group wears a red cloak over blue and white attire, topped with a feathered hat. Most of these men look towards the robed figures, some with hands clasped.
