This is a painting of an interior scene. In the center, an older bearded man is seated on an ornate chair with other figures around him in various states of agitation and action. A musician is holding a lyre. A small animal, likely a dog, is at the central figure's feet. The figures are dressed in ancient or classical garments. The expressions on the faces are intense. The background contains pillars and a patterned window.
