Giovanni Antonio da Brescia

The image depicts a group of people. A central figure with a bald head and white hair around his body is surrounded by seven other people. All are nude or semi-nude. A few characters hold various items such as a panpipe, wine vessel and fruit on branches. Several characters wear decorative wreaths on their heads. The people are standing on a flat surface; some characters are viewed from the back. Most faces are looking in various directions. The background features hatching and cross-hatching. The color scheme is sepia-toned.
