Detailed Description
This artwork is a triptych, featuring three distinct scenes, each within an ornate gold frame. The central panel, taller and wider than the side panels, depicts an indoor gathering around a long table. Numerous figures, many with beards and varying hairstyles, are seated and standing. A central figure with long brown hair and a red robe faces an older man with a white beard. Figures wear robes in shades of red, blue, yellow, green, and white. Behind them, a rich gold and red patterned tapestry hangs, and the room features arched windows and columns. A small white dog is on the patterned floor in the foreground, near a man pouring from a pitcher. The left panel portrays an outdoor scene with a large crowd. Figures on horseback and on foot, dressed in armor and colorful garments, are visible. In the foreground, a figure in gold armor kneels, receiving an object from another figure. A red banner flies in the upper left. In the background, a fortified city with tall buildings and an archway stands under a cloudy blue sky, with ships visible in the distance. The right panel shows a snowy landscape. Several figures are gathered, with one figure in a white robe kneeling in the foreground, reaching towards white circular objects on the ground. A smaller figure is beside them. The background includes a large tree, rolling hills, and distant castle ruins. Several white tents are pitched in the middle ground under a dark blue sky dotted with white specks.
