The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a careful arrangement of figures that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas. The use of color is particularly noteworthy, as Blanchard employs a harmonious and delicate palette to underscore the painting's emotional resonance.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is considered an important work in Blanchard's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Baroque period in French art.
