The scene to the left, features a man lying in a canopy bed with many male figures standing next to the bed. Another bearded man to the left, holds up a small bottle. The alcove and wall are framed by leaf molding, a cartouche, and carved overdoor paneling with a festoon of flowers and a medallion portrait. The plate is signed.
