Detailed Description
The painting depicts an interior scene with several figures gathered around a rectangular table. The room features architectural elements, including a series of golden-brown columns on the left side, opening to a glimpse of a green landscape and a figure partially visible behind a column. In the foreground, on the left, a small potted plant sits in a decorative urn. At the table, a man with dark hair and a beard, dressed in a dark green robe, sits on a wooden stool on the left, raising his right hand with two fingers extended. Beside him, a woman with a white veil covering her head and a dark robe clasps her hands together. To their right, two younger figures, one in a pink robe and another in a light brown garment, sit at the table, looking towards the right. The table is covered with a white cloth, on which a small dark rectangular object and a round, flat, light brown object resembling bread are placed. A small, dark, lidded container sits near the center of the table. On the right side of the table, a man in a red and white garment pours liquid from a light brown pitcher into one of several large, light brown earthenware jars arranged on the tiled floor in the foreground. Behind him, other figures are partially visible. The background wall features a large, dark green tapestry with a gold border, centered with a round, convex mirror reflecting light. Above the tapestry, a wooden ceiling with beams is visible. The floor is tiled in a light, checkered pattern.
