About this work
In a forehall a man sits on a throne, a book on a lectern next to him. At his feet a group of people are using a meal. Servants are running up. In the background it can be seen that construction work is going on outside: sowing, plowing and a tower is being built or repaired. Below the representation a line of Latin text (Eccles. 10:17-18).
