A party consisting of four pairs of different ages is gathered around a table in the open-air. The pairs are turned towards each other and indulge in gambling, music and conversation. An expansive landscape and a biblical scene are visible behind a bush that isolates the events in the foreground.

A party consisting of four pairs of different ages is gathered around a table in the open-air. The pairs are turned towards each other and indulge in gambling, music and conversation. An expansive landscape and a biblical scene are visible behind a bush that isolates the events in the foreground. Shown is 'The Parable of the Lost Son': surrounded by pigs, with his walking stick on his shoulder the son has fallen pleading to the ground, while on the right his parents' home and his family can be seen.
