Saint Nicholas of Tolentino Reviving a Child

A kneeling woman in an orange gown and white veil lifts a small child toward a monk in a dark habit, who stands at the right beside a second friar. A crowd of bystanders in red, green and grey robes gestures and looks on in an interior with pilasters, while a landscape with a harbor and a rocky mountain fills a panel at the left.

Look closer: A small landscape panel with a harbor town and rocky mountain is set into the left wall of the scene.
