content: Scene depicting the figure of Jesus Christ sharing his moral teachings with others. Christ sits in the foreground at left upon a rock, a radiating halo surrounding his head, his arms raised in open gestures to those around him, and his gaze aimed at the figure to the left. He is surrounded by a crowd of men who listen to his teachings and discuss amongst themselves. Behind the group is a forest of leafy trees. To the right, indications of a valley with additional figures in conversation. A city on a hill in the background, with mountains in the distance. A flock of birds flies through the cloudy sky at upper right. Composition contained within rectangular framing line.
