Detailed Description
A scene shows multiple figures gathered around a table in an outdoor setting under a muted gray sky. On the right, a tall man with a long, flowing white beard and a white turban stands, wearing a brown robe with fur trim. He extends his right arm and hand toward the left, gesturing toward the group at the table. His left hand holds the fabric of his robe. A small brown and white dog with floppy ears looks up at him in the lower right corner. To the left, a group of figures is gathered around a white-draped table. A man with dark, curly hair and a mustache, dressed in a brown robe, sits with his chin resting on his left hand, looking toward the gesturing man. Behind him, a person wearing a wide, conical straw hat looks out toward the viewer. Below the seated man, a child with a red headband kneels at the table, holding a piece of food to their mouth. Another child's head is partially visible behind them. The table is covered with a white cloth and laden with food, including several plates, a loaf of bread, and a large roasted animal presented on a dark platter. A white cloth is draped over a red patterned fabric on the ground next to the table. In the background, a dark tree trunk and branches are visible on the far left. A green hillside stretches across the middle ground, populated by numerous small white sheep and a few brown cows. A small wooden hut with a thatched roof is visible on the far right. The sky above is a muted gray.
