This vertical tempera painting depicts the ascent of Jesus from Earth to Heaven. The frame and background of the panel are covered with gold. In the center foreground is the haloed, medium-skinned figure of the Virgin Mary wearing a blue gown and red robe. She holds her arms to her sides with palms facing out . Behind and above Mary are two haloed, medium-dark skinned angels with white gowns and brown wings. Several medium-dark skinned people gather around each side of Mary . Two figures on the side to our left gesture up  with their arms. Other figures talk amongst themselves and watch Mary. The angels appear to be looking down on the people in each group. In the top portion of the painting is the haloed image of Christ, sitting and surrounded in a dark circle. On each side are haloed, winged angels who appear to escort Christ to Heaven.
