This is a print of a group of people seated at a dining table, with others standing nearby and watching them. In the front, a woman with long hair partially covered by a shawl is kneeling, facing the left, her face near the foot of a seated man. There is a bucket on the ground next to her. The table behind her is covered with various plates, cups, and food. More men are seated around the table, with a group of men standing on the right, observing the scene. The people all wear robes and different head coverings, and many of them, including the woman, have halos behind their head. The background features a window on the left with more people visible through it, and on the right an opening shows a person sitting among leafy vines.
