On a stone platform, several light-skinned adults and children stand looking down into a crowd. They all wear brightly colored robes. Three men in the back wear helmets and hold spears. The children hold golden platters. In the crowd below, many light-skinned people are dancing, playing instruments, and reaching their arms up toward the platform. A couple reclines in the foreground with a dog. In the anterior wall, there is a large doorway bordered by columns. Through the doorway is a softly lit landscape with mountains and trees. This painting is oval-shaped and sits in an ornate golden rectangular frame.
