The illustration shows three people in the foreground. The central figure is an older man with a bushy beard and mustache, sitting on a rocky outcrop. Next to him is a woman, and on his left is another woman pouring liquid from a jug into a cup that the man holds. The setting is outdoors surrounded by lush trees and foliage. In the distance, a smaller figure is seen walking. Objects like a walking stick, a jug, and fabric are at the bottom of the image, while the border is decorated with floral and scroll designs.
