A woman in a vivid red robe rises above a crowd, her arms outstretched and her gaze lifted towards a burst of golden light breaking through swirling clouds. She is surrounded by angels, some with sweeping wings and others with cherubic faces, who support her ascent with gentle hands and flowing drapery. Below, a group of men and women cluster around an open stone tomb, their faces tilted upward in awe and wonder, their hands raised in gestures of amazement and devotion.

The figures at the bottom are painted with expressive, individualized features, some with beards and furrowed brows, others with wide eyes and parted lips, capturing a range of emotions from reverence to astonishment. A woman in the foreground leans over the tomb, her hand gripping the edge, her face illuminated by the light from above, while another figure in blue kneels beside her, lost in contemplation. The composition is animated by swirling drapery and dynamic gestures, with every figure connected by glances or reaching arms, creating a sense of upward movement that draws attention to the central miracle.

The sky is filled with dramatic clouds, rendered in broad, energetic brushstrokes, and pierced by shafts of yellow light that illuminate the ascending woman and the angels around her. The colour scheme contrasts the deep reds and blues of the robes with the golden yellows and pale flesh tones of the angels, set against a stormy grey and blue sky. The paint surface appears lively and textured, with visible brushwork especially in the clouds and drapery, giving the scene a sense of immediacy and movement.

At the very top, the woman’s blue mantle billows around her, echoing the swirling forms of the clouds and further emphasizing her elevation above the earthly scene.
