A dog lays in front of him. Another man sits on a low wall under one of the arches supporting the roof, playing a guitar. Three people sit on the tile floor of the corridor at left. A chicken stands in front of them near an empty plate. In the background is a horse-drawn carriage, a fountain with two people and a horse beside it, and a group of horsemen riding in the distance as they lasso a steer.
