A large, multi-paneled Gothic retablo, composed of numerous individual painted panels set within an elaborate gilded wooden framework of arches, pinnacles, and tracery, is displayed against a light-colored wall. The central panel features the enthroned Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ Child, flanked by attending figures. Above this, a prominent panel depicts the Crucifixion with Christ on the cross and figures mourning below. Surrounding these are multiple smaller narrative panels, portraying various biblical or saintly scenes, including a resurrection scene on the mid-left and figures carrying the cross on the bottom right. The altarpiece exhibits characteristics of late Gothic or early Renaissance painting, with stylized figures, vibrant colors, and gold backgrounds. Below the central panels, the predella contains further scenes and small portrait busts within its molding. A plain, light-brown wooden panel is present at the bottom center, likely a closed tabernacle door or placeholder. The artwork is illuminated by both overhead skylights, visible as large rectangular panes in the light-blue and brown ceiling structure above, and artificial track lighting fixtures. A section of another wall or artwork is visible to the far right, along with a partial view of a person in dark clothing at the bottom right. The scene is located within a gallery of the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia in Valencia, Spain.
