Completing the painting is a bare-chested, turned figure of a young man who has one hand on a basket covered by a cloth and with the other holds a rope coming out of it; standing to his right is a figure of an old man with a turban pointing to the ground. To the left of the painting, turned around, are two dignitaries with their backs to each other speaking, one of them holding a golden pommel staff behind his back. Behind the cross a temple is glimpsed, and on the mountain side a turreted city.
