Gothic church interior with a crowd

A large Gothic church interior seen down the nave, with tall clustered columns and pointed arches receding toward a distant choir screen. A dense crowd of figures in 16th-century dress gathers across the stone floor, while a dog wanders at lower left and light falls through the high windows.
