Recto: the risen Christ stands in front of an arch with a black background displaying the stigmata. His head is inclined to the left where the armour-clad donor kneels looking up at him. The right side of the composition is occupied by Death shown as a skeleton with a scythe and an hourglass.

Verso: God the Father enthroned is depicted against a gilded background that is framed by clouds and enlivened with angels. He presents his Son on the cross to the viewer. A dove representing the Holy Spirit hovers above his head.
