A scene with three figures inside a tent. The space outside the tent is pitch black, suggesting that the scene takes place at night. Inside the tent, a woman raises a mallet and stake menacingly over the prostrate figure of a sleeping man. A maid at the entrance of the tent holds a vessel on her head. Her attention is drawn towards the action taking place inside the tent. Many props decorate the inside of the tent: flowers, jugs, hatchets, and a oil lamp.
