Sketch for "The Assumption of the Virgin" (for St. James, Zbraslav, near Prague)?
The painting depicts a scene with multiple figures, primarily in shades of brown, white, and blue. The central figure, a woman in white with a halo, is being lifted upwards by two men on either side, one wearing a blue garment and the other wearing a pink garment. Several other figures are below them, some kneeling or standing. A figure in red stands to the left. Two smaller figures float in the upper left. The artwork has a dark background with a lighter area behind the central figure. The edges of the painting appear rough.
