Detailed Description
The image depicts thirteen men seated around a long, rectangular table. A man is positioned on the far left, with twelve other men extending to the right. All figures have golden halos around their heads. The man on the left wears a red tunic and a dark blue cloak. He is seated at the end of the table, facing right. His left arm is extended towards the table, and his right hand is on the shoulder of another man who is leaning against him, his head resting on the first man's chest. This second man wears a teal tunic. The table is covered with a white tablecloth and is laden with small, round, brown bowls, some containing food, and small, round, golden objects. A few small, red, rectangular objects are also on the table. The twelve other men are seated along the far side of the table, facing the viewer, and along the near side, facing away from the viewer. They wear tunics and cloaks in various colors including teal, red, green, and dark blue. Many of them have beards. Their hands are visible, some holding bowls or gesturing. One man on the near side, second from the left, holds a dark object that resembles a knife. The background is a simple, light brown wall with a dark, patterned frieze along the top. A golden frame surrounds the entire painting.
