A scene  in an arcaded loggia with fully clothed men and partially clothed women carousing round a table on which are dishes of fruit and a flagon. Several of the revellers are in masquerade costumes, all wear masks, many of which are heads of animals, including a lion and a bear; two are dressed as devils and two as Pluto and Proserpine (the former wearing spectacles) sit on a dais to right, a grotesque dragon (a statue or similar prop) on a ledge above. Behind, a colonnade open to an ornamental garden.with topiary hedges.
