The painting shows a dark, chaotic scene. Several people are gathered around a table, while others hang from the ceiling or stand in the background. The room is dimly lit, with only a few areas of brightness. In the foreground, a group of figures are intensely focused on something on the table. Some of them appear to be holding objects, while others seem to be in the midst of an argument. The atmosphere is tense and foreboding. This painting is held at the Städel Museum.
