The scene depicts various figures clad in flowing robes and armor, gathered in front of a large stone building with arched doorways and visible battlements. In the background, there is a cylindrical tower with decorative elements. The architectural elements suggest a classical influence with detailed brickwork and arches. The figures are holding different objects such as books and staffs. Above the main scene, there is an elevated balcony with additional figures looking over the gathering below.
