This painting shows a scene with many people and animals in a landscape. There are arches in the background and a giraffe on the right side. The people are dressed in old-fashioned clothing and some are carrying bags or other objects. There is a sense of movement and activity in the scene, with people walking or standing in different directions. The painting is done in tempera, a technique that involves using egg yolks to bind pigments. You might want to look up more paintings by Bartolomeo di Giovanni next.
