She is depicted in a white gown, bound to a wooden stake, clutching a small cross while smoke and fire surround her; a Dominican friar kneels beside her, presenting a large crucifix, and spectators-including clergy, soldiers, and civilians-watch from behind a draped barrier. The background features half-timbered medieval buildings and a church spire, reinforcing the historical setting and emotional gravity of the scene.
