This figure wears a long-sleeved red garment and holds a cup or small cylindrical object. To the right, another figure faces to the left, partially visible, covered by a draped cloth resembling a veil or a robe. On the left stands another figure with minimalist facial features, possibly smiling, with hair partially concealed under a veil or hood. The background is textured with deep shades of blue and purple. In the foreground, two platters filled with red fruits with green stems are present on either side of the central figure.
