Christ, dressed in white, stands on the peak of Mount Tabor, surrounded by a resplendent round aureole. He is flanked by Elijah and Moses standing on rocky peaks in the form of arches in the middle ground, Moses holding the tables of the Law. In the foreground, the poses and gestures of the disciples Peter, John, and James reveal the intense dread inspired by this theophany.
