This oil on canvas painting depicts two scenes set in a grand marble building.  There is a strong contrast between the white marble columns and floor of the building, and the richly colored clothing of the figures in this painting.  To our left are four medium-light skinned males dressed in long flowing robes.  The figure furthest to the  left stands in a dark green long gown and wears a white and red turban. Furthest to the right stands a bearded male dressed in a vibrant red gown with blue sleeves, gold collar and wearing a white and red head covering.  Between them are two seated male figures; one is bearded and is wearing a dark gold robe and a large white turban.  The other is dressed in a dark robe with a black and white headdress.  Behind them is a large window that opens to show other white marble buildings and the blue sea and sky in the distance.  To our right and in the background is a dark interior depiction of a bedroom setting.  There is a light-skinned person lying in bed dressed in a light blue gown and headdress.  A medium skinned male is kneeling with his hand on the arm of the person in bed.  He is dressed in a very dark green garment and hat.  To our right stands a light skinned woman dressed in a gold tunic with a delicate white trim about the neckline that falls over a black full-length gown.  Her blonde hair is braided with pearls and twisted about her head.  She holds a bowl.  In the corner to our right stands a woman dressed in a plain green dress with a white apron and tan head covering who holds a bowl in her hand.
