Half-nude wounded man on a white cloth, tended by three women in a stone interior, with a copper basin in the foreground.

St Sebastian Nursed by Irene and her Helpers

A wounded, half-nude man lies on a white cloth in the foreground while three women tend him in a stone interior. A kneeling woman in yellow and violet supports his head, an older woman in a white headscarf steadies his shoulder, and a woman in an orange drape reaches toward him beside a copper basin.
