Description: There are seven people in the room and El Cid’s horse Babieca. On the left of the room there is a religious man in his habit with a cross on hanging from his neck. On the floor with her head on the bed is Jimena. Jimena is wearing a dress with a veil to cover her head. On the right side of the image there are four men. The one most visible is kneeling down in prayer wearing his habit. The one next to Babieca is petting him. The one in the bed is El Cid. He is dying. He has a long white beard and he is bald. At the end of his bed there is a flag lying there. The top of the bed has curtains twisted together to prevent them from falling and shielding El Cid from his visitors.
