Summary

A group of figures crowd outside a building. To the foreground bottom left is a crippled man sat on rushes. Saint Peter is to his right wearing a white habit and beard. He is standing with his right hand directed towards the lame man. Behind him, to the right, is a young man with curly hair: Saint John. Behind the lame man, and looking down at him, is a richly dressed figure holding a purse. Other men stand to each side of this figure, all looking down at the lame man.
