This is a painting of a scene showing a central figure surrounded by two others under an architectural arch. The central figure has a halo around the head and is partially covered by a draped cloth, standing on a pedestal. To either side stand figures in medieval attire, each holding an implement. The left figure holds a multi-thonged object, while the right figure appears poised to strike with a leafy bundle. The background consists of stylized architectural elements, such as arches, creating an enclosed space. The use of color is simple yet bold, characteristic of medieval illustrative style. This is in the style of a medieval woodblock print or manuscript illumination.
