Description:
A group of eight nude figures arranged in a circular composition. In the lower right, a nude woman reclines against a seated nude male wearing a round stylized hat/crown. In the center, just to the left of the reclining woman, a servant, seen from behind but facing right, holds a plate of fruit to the right. In the lower left, a nude male figure stands leaning against the left edge of the image. In the middle distance/background: a nude man on the left holds a smaller nude figure as if holding a violin, a very thin nude woman with a prominent nose dances in the center, and a rotund nude male dances on the right.
