In the foreground of a kitchen various kinds of vegetables (asparagus, broad beans, peas, carrots, artichokes, cucumbers, beets, a pumpkin, green cabbages, onions and turnips) and fruit (apples, cherries, currants, apricots, pears, berries, raspberries and grapes) are displayed in baskets. In the kitchen two maids are at work. Behind them, through drawn curtains, the biblical scene is visible.
