You see a scene with many people outside a building. They are grouped by men and women, some with halos. You can look inside the building and see a woman in bed with others around her. The people outside seem to be waiting for something. A bearded man sits near the bed, watching. This painting is similar to works by other artists of the time, and to learn more, look into the technique: tempera.
