This horizontal oil painting depicts a group of human figures huddling around a statue of King Nebuchadnezzar in worship. In the center of the painting is a male figure wearing a blue robe belted at the waist. His brown hair is cut short, and he has a full beard and medium-light skin. With his head up, he looks directly at the other figures with his right arm at his side and his left arm bent at the elbow with fingers pointing up toward the statue. The statue of the king is on a high pedestal, rising up to the top of the painting. The figure stands straight with his arms held away from his body. A ring of six dark-skinned men surrounds the man in blue. Five of them hold up trumpets. To the right, thirteen men in colored robes kneel and look at the statue. These men have medium-dark skin and many have full beards. In front of this group, and around the statue on three sides, is a large huddle of white-robed figures kneeling. Some look up to the messenger, others talk and gesture to each other. Slightly outside this group, to our left, are three men standing. They wear dark robes and boots, and have light brown hair and medium skin tone. These men are having a conversation. The one to our right has hands on hips and stares forward. The man to our left is speaking and holds his right arm up with his index finger pointing. The man in the middle is visible from the neck up; he listens attentively to the speaker. In the background is a rolling, green hillside. To both our left and right are trees full with leaves. The sky is blue with gray and white cloud cover.
