In a large room with high walls on the right and at the back, and on the left a high passage to a garden, a company of men and women is drawn. Also two servants are present. The floor seems to be of clay. The furniture is simple in style and consists of three wooden chairs with high backrests, a round table with a bowl; a low round piece of furniture with a raised edge in the form of a box, on which also a bowl stands; a three-legged object contains a bowl with an ear – it could be a spittoon or spittoon. On the left stands a European man who is dressed in a long coat reaching to the knee, with the collar closed under the chin. He wears shoes. Over his right shoulder a bandolier to which on his left hip a scabbard with a sword hangs. His extended right hand holds a wide-brimmed felt hat. With his left hand he raises a wine glass. To the right of him against the back wall sits a European woman on a chair. She is dressed in a blouse with wide sleeves and a wide flat collar.
