A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts seven figures with light skin tones in a classical frieze against a warm ochre background. From our left, a man prepares a ram over a pedestal. Beside him, women play pipes and lift grapes. At the center, a youth leads two lions pulling a chariot carrying a man with a thyrsus. A woman pours liquid from a vessel, while another at far right carries a basket overhead.
