Behind him a woman in a white and teal outfit with a tilted head, and a blurred woman in white with glasses and an orange shawl, stand in a softly lit indoor room with a plant. A red-clad arm is visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a seated class or gathering with fruit being passed, with no visible deity, throne or ritual setting.
