The countess holds a morning levée in her lavishly decorated bedroom.

Others in the room include a female friend and her husband; a castrato singer accompanied by a flautist; a young black man who serves chocolate to the party; and a small black boy who points to the horns of a figure of Actaeon purchased at an auction with other objects, including a fake mermaid and a plate with the scene of Leda and the swan; playing cards and invitations are on the floor in the lower right. On the walls are paintings of biblical stories and mythology, including Lot's Daughters, Jupiter and Io, and Rape of Ganymede
