To her left is a pedestal with a statue. On the left, a man and a woman are standing. The man holds a staff. In the background, there is a man lying on the ground. The upper right shows two figures. The background is dark and smoky with some architectural features visible. The overall color tone is sepia. The arch shape frames the top of the scene.
