About this work

A dramatic historical scene shows a richly dressed woman in a gold and white gown leaning forward beside a monk who points toward a fallen, nude warrior on the battlefield. Other figures, including a hooded attendant and an older woman raising her hand, gather near shields stuck upright in the earth, arrows, and distant tents under a turbulent sky.
