COMMENT: The painting is the left side of a double composition; at the upper left are musicians who provide ambient entertainment. A cook prepares meat over a brazier, while a servant brings kebab on a shallow bowl.
The unfinished state of this painting reveals the artist's process of creating underdrawings that are filled with color.
