The vertical format with an arched top is divided into two pictorial fields. The essential act takes place within a circle of clouds with winged angels' heads in the upper part of the panel. On the bottom half of the panel there is an ideal landscape with a river and castles. The donor kneels in the foreground on the left wearing a fur-trimmed coat and holding rosary beads while he prays. Behind him is his son. On the right both his wives are depicted in a similar attitude of prayer and between them the donor's daughter. Those members of the family who were deceased when the epitaph was executed are depicted with a cloth over their mouths. The Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin take place at the same time.
