The image depicts a large, vertically oriented religious painting or tapestry, framed in gold, centrally positioned on a stone wall within the interior of the Zagreb Cathedral (Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of Saints Stephen and Ladislaus) in the City of Zagreb, Croatia. The artwork illustrates a scene of heavenly ascent. In the uppermost section, two male figures, one carrying a cross (Jesus) and another older figure (God the Father), are depicted amidst clouds and small cherubs. Below them, a central female figure, likely the Virgin Mary, dressed in blue and green robes, ascends towards the top, surrounded by numerous cherubs and angels. In the lower section of the painting, a group of male figures, presumably apostles or disciples, stand on an earthly plane adorned with flowers. They look upwards, with several figures gesturing towards the ascending figures. The painting exhibits vertical creases across its surface. The artwork is set against a backdrop of Gothic architecture. To the left, a large, fluted stone column with a decorative capital is visible. Above the painting, pointed arches and ribbed vaults of the cathedral ceiling are prominent. A bright light source, possibly an artificial spotlight or sunbeam, emanates from the upper center, creating a starburst effect. To the right of the painting, a plain stone wall includes a narrow vertical section with blue light, indicative of a window or stained glass. Below the painting, a stone base features small carved figures supporting a decorative element, and a partial inscription in Croatian reads, "NA SPOMEN DEVETSTOTE OBLJETNICE OSNUTKA ZAGREBAČKE BISKUPIJE," commemorating the 900th anniversary of the founding of the Zagreb Diocese. In the lower right corner, a section of light-colored wooden paneling or construction material is visible.
