Physical Description
A large gathering of figures looks toward a young male figure gesticulating to the crowd on the right with his back to the viewer. Two imposing older male figures are positioned to the left of the young man. The architectural cityscape recedes perspectivally in the distance. A large domed building looms over the horizon line.
