A cleric holds the black habit of the Benedictine Order for Saint Bavo, a replacement for his armour. He has relinquished his sword to the man behind him, while another hands out his riches to a group of beggars. Two courtiers stand at the bottom of the steps, a dog at their feet, while more people crowd the staircase and the foreground, creating a feeling of frenzy.
