In foreground, a body supine on a table, with the head towards the front. Several people stand around it gesticulating, in the manner of a 17th-century Dutch group portrait. Behind, a raised area marked off by a balustrade, on which stand four men; one of them holds his left hand downwards and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture.
