The image captures the interior of the Church of Santa Maria in Vado, Ferrara, Italy, focusing on a prominent Baroque altar structure. The central element is a large altarpiece featuring an oil painting, "The Martyrdom of Saint Maurelius" by Guercino, depicting a multi-figure scene of martyrdom, with soldiers and a bound figure in the foreground and cherubs in the sky above. This painting is set within an elaborate architectural frame composed of pairs of fluted, reddish-brown marble columns, white marble sections, and gilded decorative elements. Above the painting, the altarpiece features a curved pediment adorned with numerous white marble or stucco sculptures of angels and cherubs, with a bust of a saint in a circular medallion at its apex. Below the painting, the altar table is covered with a white lace cloth. On the altar, multiple tall white candles are positioned in ornate brass candlesticks, accompanied by small potted plants and a white decorative vase. The altar frontal is paneled with ornate marble inlays. To the left of the main altar, a wall niche displays a relief bust labeled "S. PETRUS." The surrounding walls feature stucco reliefs and gold trim. In the foreground, slightly right of center, a bald male with glasses, a dark puffer jacket, and a patterned scarf is depicted in profile, facing towards the right side of the altar. To his immediate left, a person wearing a dark, possibly glossy, jacket is partially visible. On the far right, another individual with gray hair, wearing a dark jacket, is partially visible from behind. A modern-looking, dark-framed glass structure is present on the far right edge of the frame.
