The image shows two sketches side by side. The left sketch depicts a banquet scene with people seated at a table; a woman on the left holds a bowl of fruit or bread. A man sits on the right side of the table. Behind them, more people are standing and sitting. The right sketch shows a woman holding a severed head on a platter; she sits on the right side. A man on the left appears to point at or present the head. There are people sitting and standing behind them. Both sketches are brown pencil drawings on aged paper. The drawings appear to have smudges and sketch marks visible. The style is detailed and realistic, with folds in clothing evident. The scenes are depicted from the Renaissance period.
