Several objects and fruits are arranged on a table half-covered with a carpet or other type of heavy cloth: a chinese export bowl, a roemer, a silver plate, and a silver jug. The bowl and the plate hold an array of fruits and nuts as well as a piece of bread. A black figure, richly dressed, stands behind the table on the right hand side of the painting, looks at the viewer, and holds up a second roemer. A red curtain behind the figure is drawn apart with two tassels visible in the opening.
