The artwork shows a man tied to a tree and pierced with arrows. He has curly golden hair and a halo above his head, suggesting he is a saint. He is wearing a loincloth and appears serene with closed eyes. Around him are an archer, a figure in a turban and robe, and another in a long robe holding a scepter. The background features a medieval town under a sky with golden rays. There is Latin text inscribed in the lower part of the image.
