In the foreground, to the left, a regal-looking Pope or Bishop sits on an ornate crimson and gold throne. He wears a white and gold miter and robes, and is actively pointing with his right hand towards the right side of the scene, his expression serious.

Below the throne, a group of distressed civilians, including men and women, are shown in movement, their faces conveying fear and urgency as they flee.
