Detailed Description
The rectangular image depicts a complex street scene with multiple figures and architectural elements. The image is visually divided into several distinct areas across a horizontal plane. On the left, a building with a red brick facade features an open doorway on an upper level, where a woman in a light-colored dress interacts with another figure. Below, a man in a dark cloak and hat, labeled "SESTO," stands on a platform with stairs leading down. At the bottom left, several men, some on horseback, are gathered, including a man on a dark horse and another on a white horse with gold trappings. A figure with dark skin stands near the white horse. Above the red brick wall, a large arched window reveals a scene with two figures in a bed, labeled "SEU" and "LVA."In the center foreground, two bearded men, one in a gold robe with a halo and the other in a dark robe, stand facing each other and shaking hands. Behind them, a woman in a dark dress stands in an open doorway. To their right, a woman in a white patterned dress stands on a low, light-colored block inscribed "ANARETA." She extends her hand towards a man on a white horse, who wears a red and gold hat and cloak and is labeled "STO." This man is accompanied by several other figures, some holding spears, and another man on a dark horse. The background on the right shows a narrow street with tall, dark buildings. The image uses a palette of reds, browns, golds, and light blues.
