This is a painting depicting a religious scene. The composition centers around a cross, with several figures shown with halos. The figures are arranged around a reclining figure marked on the torso. The color palette is limited to earthy tones. Each figure wears traditional clothing of the period. In the foreground, another figure kneels with their back mostly turned. The setting is simplistic, focusing on the figures and their expressions. The style is reminiscent of early Christian religious paintings.
