This miniature painting depicts a group of male figures gathered around a coffin draped with a blue cloth. Two pairs of candles set on tall candlesticks are placed at the head and foot of the coffin. To the left of the coffin stand four mourners wearing long gray robes with hoods. Facing them from the other side of the coffin are three tonsured clergymen dressed in white, who look at an open book placed before them. The group stands upon a green tiled floor next to a pink wall. The background is painted red and decorated with an exuberant pattern of gold scrolling foliage motifs.

A man and woman wearing white emerge from an arched stone doorway. The man steps forward, holding a candle in his elevated right hand and a yellow textile in this left hand. The textile drags behind him, hiding most of the lower body of the female figure. In front of this couple on a platform are two more figures, one wearing a blue jacket with coattails and holding a sword, point down, in this right hand while his left hand is raised in a pointing gesture above his head. In the wake of the figure in blue is a smaller figure wearing a brown tunic and holding a lantern. Larson 2/5/18

In the center of the room is a sculpture of the Medici Venus on a pedestal with her back to the viewer, her reflection evident in the mirror. Between the base of the sculpture and the viewer is an elaborately carved gilt stool covered with rich red fabric.
