About this work

In this painting, a woman in a blue dress holds a red tambourine, standing in front of a table with a white cloth. A man in a yellow tunic and white head covering stands behind her, while another man in a red robe sits at the table. To the left, a man in a brown tunic holds a platter with a severed head. The background features a green wall with a doorway and a column. The woman's dress and the man's tunic are rendered in vivid colors, while the background is more subdued. The scene appears to be set in a room with a table and chairs. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Sano di Pietro.
