Detailed Description
A horizontal painting depicts five figures in a landscape under a light blue sky with scattered white clouds. In the center, a figure with light skin and light hair stands on a rectangular stone tomb. This central figure is mostly nude, draped in a flowing pink cloth that wraps around their lower body and left arm. Their right hand is raised with the index finger pointing upwards, and their left hand holds a tall staff from which a red, flowing banner unfurls to the right. The tomb is light gray, with a decorative carved panel on its front and a rectangular lid partially displaced to the left and right. Four other figures, appearing to be soldiers, are positioned around the tomb. On the left, a soldier in dark armor with red and dark green clothing sits on the ground, leaning against his shield with his head resting on his left arm. Behind him, another soldier stands with his body turned towards the central figure, his hands raised in front of him. He wears brown armor and red pants, with a sword hanging from his waist. On the right side, a soldier in dark armor with orange and pink clothing sits on the ground, leaning against his shield with his head resting on his right arm. Behind him, another soldier sits on a small mound, wearing a brown tunic and a red hat, holding a spear with a white banner. His head is bowed. The background features rolling hills in shades of green and brown, with a distant town visible on the horizon and a few tall, slender trees on the right.
