A naked woman carrying a basket of pears as she gets into a boat with a clothed man sitting inside. There is a fire raging in the background. There is a table set burning in the LLC and in the TLC there is a bedroom on fire. An island can be seen through the window in the TRC.
The frame is hand tooled tin, copper and brass. It has a quilted like texture imprinted on it with pin holes. At the corners there are squares of brass that have a small bead.
