The painting shows a saintly figure in a flowing robe, with his right arm outstretched and his left hand pointing upwards. He appears to be floating in mid-air, surrounded by a halo of light. Below him, a group of people are gathered, looking up at the saint in awe. The scene is set against a backdrop of a city wall, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The saint's robes are depicted in shades of yellow and orange, while the people below him are dressed in more muted tones. The overall effect is one of drama and intensity, with the saint's presence dominating the scene.
