Two arms are seen upraised from the tomb in the lower left part of the painting, while the figure of Christ stands above, head on one side, looking upward. Martha and Mary are to the right, one drawing up the long winding sheet, the other looking on open mouthed, a marvelling male figure beside her. Other figures are dimly suggested behind. A bank with plants appears in the right foreground; the background is dark.
This scene depicts the story of Jesus performing the miracle of the raising of Lazarus. Jesus looks upwards with his hands clasped in front of him. Around his head is a halo of light. To his left several mourners look on in awe and a long winding cloth falls from the arms of one them down a grassy bank into Lazarus's tomb. Only the outstretched arms of Lazarus can be seen.
