The painting depicts four men in a scene. One man, older and wearing a white cloth wrapped around his waist, stands centrally with his right hand raised. Three other men surround him; one on the left is bending down, the one on the right faces the central figure with a white cloth draped over his left shoulder and a red cloth wrapped around his waist, and another man stands behind the central figure. A large wooden cross stands to the right. The background includes trees and a cloudy sky. The scene is dark with somber tones. The title of the work is "Martyrdom of Saint Andrew" by Guido Reni.
