large picture, 3. 2 metres high and 2. 7 6 metres wide, depicting several figures inside a vast interior space. the foreground is filled with light, mainly falling on a group of girls in fine dresses, and also, although less harshly, on a man on the left side of the picture, who appears to be a painter. elements further back in the image, including two additional figures, are in shadow, except for a distant doorway with the silhouette of a man, and an illuminated image of a man and a woman inside a frame on the back wall. baroque style inspired by diego velasquez.
