Standing beside them is a woman seen from head to toe, with her hair styled back and wearing an elaborate dress with ornamental sleeves, while holding a ladle over a basin. Jewelry is visible on the seated woman. The background shows a landscape with a body of water, a sailing ship, a burning city with tall towers and flames.
