One woman pours from a vessel marked with spirals into the jug held by the other, their arms meeting at the centre of the canvas.

At the left, a tall bottle and a row of small panels suggest objects set out on a shelf.

Soft grey and ochre passages, lit by touches of gold, give the ground the depth of an old wall.
