Scene of a quiet city street is shown. A woman walks away from the viewer as she carries a heavy load on her back. A man stands at a nearby doorway looking out onto the street. A tall tree stands on the right side of the street.
Two large royal figures lay in a tomb under a decorative window. A man in a suit crawls out of a casket from beneath the royal figures.
While kneeling in prayer, St. Peter turns at the sound of a cock crowing. In the background soldiers are relaxing in a columned structure.
Figures engage in various activities in a park. Behind the park sits a city with a train bridge crossing a river. The composition is made up of yellow, orange, and green.
