Four men and a cat around a table, with two circular images floating above them
Detailed Description
A circular painting depicts an indoor scene with four men and a cat. The composition is centered around a small, round white table covered with a white cloth. To the left, a young man with light brown hair, wearing a blue tunic, a red head covering, and a yellow cloth draped over his left arm, pours from a gray pitcher into a cup. He stands on a black and white checkered floor. At the center, a man in a brown robe and a dark hat sits at the table, looking down at a piece of meat on a plate, his hands clasped. Behind him, an older man with a white beard and dark clothing peers from a dark arched doorway. To the right, another young man with light brown hair, dressed in a red tunic and striped yellow and black hose, sits on a red bench or bed, gesturing upwards with his right hand while holding a cup in his left. On the table, alongside the meat, are several small, round bread rolls and two cups. Under the table, a light brown cat with a long tail sits on the checkered floor, looking towards the right. Above the table, two circular, glowing images are depicted against the light wall. The left image shows a seated figure with a basket of birds on their head, while the right image shows a man pruning a vine. A small plaque at the bottom edge of the painting reads: "MASTER OF THE DREAMS OF JOSEPH". The entire artwork is enclosed within a wide, dark brown wooden frame.
