Overall view of the fresco. In the centre, there is Saint Sebastian tied to a column, his head and gaze turned upwards and his body is pierced by three arrows, two on his chest and one on his right leg. He is completely naked, except from a cloth covering his hips. On the left, there is part of a human figure showing a bleeding wound on the left inner thigh (presumably St. Roch) wearing a short tunic and another one on the right wearing a long tunic holding a key in his right hand (probably St. Peter).
