Una escena manierista abarrotada en una plaza clásica: dos mujeres se abrazan en el centro mientras un hombre barbado con manto amarillo y espectadores se reúnen a su alrededor. Un anciano desnudo con manto rojo está de pie a la izquierda junto a un león, un mendigo desnudo está sentado abajo a la derecha y una calavera yace sobre el suelo con estrellas incrustadas.
