Description
Content (description)
The child, nude, lies on a high-sided couch in the centre, with a table in the foreground. A bearded old man and a youth stand one at each end of the couch, while two women sit with their heads covered, the one on right on a stool, the other on a high-backed chair with a footstool. At far left and right stands a nude putto, cross-legged, leaning on a down-turned burning torch.
