In the home of a wealthy family, maternity visits are received. On the Komfoor in the middle coffee is made and on the left a slave-made woman is already making sorbet. After these refreshments the visit gets rosewater to wash the hands from a sprinkler and perfume from a kind of atomizer. The canvases hanging on the walls are gifts from the maternity visit.
