About this work

The painting shows a bearded figure in a blue robe gesturing toward a seated man counting coins at a stepped marble platform, as a crowd of townspeople and livestock gathers in a sunlit classical square. Corinthian columns, an arched portico, and a domed rotunda frame the scene, and sheep, goats, dogs, and donkeys fill the foreground.
