A group of people, including a woman with her hands together in prayer and a man in a red cloak, surround Lazarus. In the foreground, Lazarus sits up, wrapped in a white cloth. The background features a tree, a distant landscape, and a cloudy sky. The painting's use of color and composition draws the viewer's attention to the central figures of Jesus and Lazarus. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and emotion to the scene.
