This image displays a bronze high-relief sculpture panel, located on the central bronze doors of Église de la Madeleine in Paris, France. The panel depicts a dramatic biblical scene from the story of Naboth's vineyard.

In the upper left quadrant, a tall, gaunt, bearded male figure, identified as the prophet Elijah, stands with his right arm extended horizontally and his mouth open, suggesting pronouncement. He is draped in flowing fabric. To the upper right of this figure, a Latin inscription is carved into the background, reading: "OCCIDISTI ET POSSEDISTI LINXERVNT CANES SANGVINEM NABOTH LAMBENT QVOQVE SANGVINEM TVM Reg. XXI", referring to 1 Kings 21.

Below Elijah on the left, several figures are visible, including a woman holding an infant and another child positioned nearby. In the lower central and left portions of the panel, multiple dogs with bared teeth and aggressive postures are depicted attacking or feeding upon a prone, partially nude male figure whose hands are bound.

On the right side of the panel, a crowd of human figures is arranged. Their faces convey various expressions of distress, fear, or accusation. One figure, partially visible on the far right, extends an arm and points a finger towards the central scene. Architectural elements and foliage are integrated into the background composition.
