This is a painting featuring three haloed figures gathered closely together within a circular frame. The central figure is reclining with two others flanking on either side, all displaying compassionate expressions. The figures' clothing drapes in fluid lines and their halos are outlined. Below the main scene, there is an embossed decorative band with intricate motifs, including a small animal figure on the right. The color palette is muted with burnt umber tones, and the woodblock style of the image suggests a technique reminiscent of early print or etching work, in a style similar to Albrecht Dürer.
