Below a plaque with the inscription, ISTE EST PANIS QUEM DOMINUS DEDIT VOBIS AD VESCENDUM, the Israelites gather manna before their tents in the desert, in a rocky landscape with several trees. The scene is painted as if a tapestry. Below there is a quatrain. The frame consists of burnished and dull gold bands.
