A bishop, behind whom priests stand, holds the hands of the virgin and saint joseph, who holds a flowered staff in his other hand. A group of women stand on the left while a group of suitors stand on the right, also holding staffs. Two other suitors stand to the left and right of the couple, the latter breaking his staff in anger. In the background stands an antique triumphal arch with three arches.
