The image depicts the interior of the Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) in Belém, Lisbon, Portugal. The primary subject is a large, ornate stone sarcophagus positioned centrally. Upon the sarcophagus lies a recumbent male effigy, carved from light-colored stone, depicting a figure in repose with hands clasped in prayer over his chest, his head turned towards the right side of the frame. The sarcophagus itself is extensively carved with Manueline-style decorative elements, including heraldic shields, floral motifs, and ropes, resting on a base supported by multiple carved lion figures.

To the left, a tall, arched stained-glass window with a distinct grid pattern and borders in red and yellow provides bright natural illumination, creating a strong contrast within the chamber. The surrounding walls are constructed from large, light brown stone blocks, exhibiting rough texture. Ribbed vaulted ceiling sections are visible in the upper right. The floor is composed of dark and light square tiles arranged in a checkerboard pattern. No individuals are present, and the scene is static.
