The image shows three nude figures interacting with a large bust statue of a bearded figure on a pedestal. Two women are standing, one slightly bent over, reaching upwards, while the other stands next to her. The third figure, seated at the base of the statue, has one knee raised and appears to arrange flowers around the pedestal. All three figures have long, flowing hair. Surrounding them are detailed depictions of trees and dense foliage. The scene is framed with an ornate border on each side.
