Description: Three men enter the garden clad in mourning-robes, so long that they sweep the ground, the bearded one on the right beating a large black drum with two sticks, the moustached man on the left blowing into a flute. In the middle kneels a a personage mantled with a black robe that trails along the ground. His face was covered with a very lengthy white beard that reached beyond his knee. In his right hand he held a large scimitar that touched the ground. In the background, there is a fourth and final courtly bearded man with a tall plumed hat.
