A vertically oriented tempera and gold painting depicts three light-skinned figures against a yellow landscape with a red border. Centered, a man in a white tunic sits on an elevated cushioned platform. To the left, a bearded man in green kneels beside two drums, holding sticks. To the right, a standing figure in pink raises a white whisk. A stylized tree grows on the left, and green grass lines the bottom.
