The bier is adorned with a blue cloth, and the mourners hold candles and crosses. In the background, a church and a mountainous landscape are visible. The artist's use of tempera creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The muted colors and solemn atmosphere evoke a sense of reverence and mourning.
