The picture illustrates Song of Solomon 7: 1-11. In a tondo frame a young, half naked woman is dancing frontally, on a paved house of a walled house (mansion). She is wearing golden jewels and a blue beads necklaces, a white skirt with a long belt and sandals. Behind her are tow seated young women. The woman on the right, dressed in a purple robe, is playing the harp, while the woman on the left, dressed in a green robe, is drumming. On the background are a few palm trees among the city houses. The round picture frame is colored in yellow-green-brown tones. Around it are four palm trees, two on each side. In the center, below the picture frame two deer are running leftwartds. The text is written below the picture, in brown block Hebrew letters on a brown background.
