A Sacrifice

Baccio Badinelli (after)

Summary

Interior with a figure stood on a mezzanine, at the centre between two floors, presiding over an event. Crowds of figures line either side, with some figures kneeling on the steps to the mezzanine, appearing to appeal to the standing figure. A figure in the foreground centre is held down by three male figures. Figures in the foreground to the right and left descend stairs away from the scene, and cover their faces.
