This painting is comprised of many separate vignettes of light- and medium-skinned figures in different poses and sizes. At the top left, a figure holds on to the torso of a woman who bends forward. To the right, a nude man points. A woman of much smaller proportions kneels close to the man’s thigh. Along the bottom edge, a woman stretches her hands upward while men in cloaks grasp their heads or bend downward. Some areas just depict single hands, eyes, or arms.
