Its another "vanitas" picture. The character in the back row next to the
lovers - the one smiling while pointing to them and looking out at us - is
obviously gaunt and skeletal. This person probably represents death or
disease creeping into the midst of the group that is having such a good time
that they are oblivious. This underscores the folly of such wasteful
pursuits such as music and sex.

Good question,
Monica.
And I'd say, from the expression on her
face and her body language,
that the outcome won't necessarily be
joyful for the guy, at least not
for long. Depends what she does
next with the cake dish.

You mean the guy with his arms round the
lady on the left. I wonder
why
she is holding up the cake
dish. Does this have some obscure subtext?
