Sancho sits beside his physician Pedro Rezzio who stays his hand that is posed with a fork full of meat. Two platters have already been placed on the table, and two more (one with a rabbit and the other with clams) are brought to the table by two young servant boys. On the left a group of three ladies stand behind Sancho's chair, one pointing to him. Behind the physician on the right a larger group of men, one woman, and a black man laugh at the scene around the table. In the upper right on a balcony, three musicians play for the guests below. From the lower right, a dog looks at a platter of food
