The three living, a royal hawking party, as so often, stand at the left, and the three skeletal but partly shrouded dead immediately to the right (the dead, in a very poor state of preservation now). The upper part of the painting was restored under the aegis of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in Victorian times, and the replastered area at the top shows that this amounted to a re-painting. Note two ecclesiastics, on the left a cardinal in his red hat, and further right beside him a tonsured man in a white alb holding an upright staff of some kind - Jerome, in the cardinal’s hat, possibly Gregory in the white alb.
