The artist is covered only with wooden loincloths, on which the inscription "Bereś" is visible. His torso, arms and legs are divided by horizontal lines, on his chest and arms he has painted plant branches, on his face many lines that converge in the middle of his face. In the foreground you can see a table with spread slices of bread, behind it a table with filled glasses of wine.
