Two opposing armies clash at the center of the scene, with a castle raised up on a hill, behind. The center of the scene is a band of armored bodies and limbs, with long lances poking out and crisscrossing the action. The large armies that follow behind the main clash are indicated by many vertically raised lances and banners that stick up at left and right, above and behind the crowd. The group of bodies and lance-tips at the left bears a simple flag with a cross on it, and the opposing group at right bears a more ornate flag, with an X surrounded by emblems. One fallen soldier lays on the ground in foreground, at the feet of the fighting forces.

In an outdoor scene, a group of hunters and dogs pursue a stag. The group of huntsmen are scattered along the right side of the image, with the perspective flattened so that those farthest away appear higher up in the scenery, and those closest are near the bottom edge of the square composition. Those who are nearest toward the top of the scene are on horseback, and the others stand, their attention directed toward the dogs or toward the stag which they are hunting. The hunters wear skirted garments, and each has a sword slung around his waist. The dogs run toward the middle of the scene, which is mostly clear, grassy ground in the foreground, with the buildings of a town atop a hill, behind trees in the background. The stag, runs toward the left of the scene, mid-stride, reared up on hind legs, with long antlers, among some sparse trees.

A crowd is gathered before a stone building at the edge of a forest, with mountains rising up behind. In the foreground, the main figures of the scene, two women wearing medieval garb, embrace each other at arm’s length. They are Saint Mary and Saint Elizabeth. They wear long dresses, with fabric wrapped around their heads, covering their hair. Only their faces and hands are exposed. To the left, the facade of a building stretches from the bottom to the top of the vertical composition. From an archway in the building’s wall, a bearded man in robes holds an upturned hat in his outstretched hands, in a gesture as if asking for alms. To the right, group of three women gather in front of a stand of tall, sinewy trees, their attention directed toward one another in conversation. The craggy mountains up in the background behind the two Saints, give the scene the sense of being in a valley.
