The walls are adorned with statues and intricate carvings, and the floor is made of stone tiles. At the far end of the church, a large altar is visible, surrounded by ornate decorations. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, gray, and beige dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of grandeur and solemnity, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. The painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery, where it can be viewed by the public.
