Detailed Description
A bustling outdoor scene unfolds with a large gathering of people in front of buildings under a light blue sky. In the foreground, slightly to the left of center, a kneeling figure wears a green and red pointed head covering and a matching long garment, with hands pressed together. To their right, a small child in a dark tunic and white collar stands with arms raised, looking towards a prone figure on a pink mat on the ground. This prone figure, appearing to be a child, is dressed in dark clothing and has light hair, with red marks visible around its head. Further to the right, another kneeling figure in a blue robe faces the prone figure with hands raised. Numerous onlookers surround these central figures. On the left, a group of people in blue, red, and pink garments observes, with one figure pointing towards the kneeling figure in green and red. Behind this kneeling figure, a person in a light blue tunic holds a staff topped with a cross and a green banner. On the right, a dense group of figures in various colored robes—red, green, pink, and white—stand and gesture, some with hands raised. In the mid-ground, a person in a dark cape and pink leg coverings stands with hands open, looking towards the central activity. Behind them, other figures in dark and red robes are visible. The background features light-colored buildings, including a white structure with columns and a red building with multiple windows. The scene is brightly lit.
