On left lies a man on a couch, beneath which stands a strange boat-like object and two spheres on a stool/table. Three women stand and mourn behind the couch, while an old man and woman sit in grief at its head with a boy standing behind their seat. On right a woman sits meditatively to right watching a nude child take its first steps (?), supported by a woman who looks out to the spectator. Four women stand in the background, three of them watching the fourth far right who consults a sphere on top of a column.
