This painting shows a scene in a wine cellar. There are large casks of wine in the background and a small but wide stone staircase going further downstairs. A monk is sitting on the floor downstairs, looking at the spilled basket of wine next to him. He looks like he must have just slipped and fallen and his face is full of regret and annoyance. Another monk is looking at him from upstairs, he is leaning on his arm with a puzzled facial expression.
