A tree in the middle ground divides the composition in half. In the foreground Moses can be seen on the left half with the ten commandments tablets accompanied by two Old Testament prophets, while death and the devil can be seen chasing a naked man. In the background the Fall of Man is visible as well as the Last Judgment shown in the sky surrounded by a mandorla. The Fall of Man and the naked man being chased is not completely visible on the left hand side where the panel was trimmed.
The right half on the panel is occupied by the naked man. St John the Baptist and another prophet indicate towards Christ on the Cross and blood spurts out from his wound onto the naked man¿s head. Furthermore the resurrection of Christ and the Immaculate Conception are shown on a hill in the middle ground, as well as the Brazen Serpent.
There are inscriptions on a wall in the foreground.
