Three individuals are depicted in ornate niche-like spaces framed by classical architectural elements. The person on the left has a long beard and is wearing a long, brown robe with a hood, holding a staff. In the center, a male figure with long dark hair, dressed in a blue garment and holding a cross, is supported by a large wooden staff. The figure on the right is dressed in a pale robe edged with gold, with a pink drape around the shoulders, long wavy hair, and a halo, holding a palm. Foliage design is atop the architectural framing. The background shows a pale blue sky with light clouds, green fields, and distant buildings to the right.
