A legendary incident from the Swabian War of 1499 is depicted. While the villagers of Tschlin are in the church for a funeral, Duonna Lupa is preparing the funeral banquet in her house on the outskirts of the Lower Engadine village. With presence of mind, she drives the Austrian enemies who have unexpectedly arrived to flee: she cooks a reception for the approaching Graubünden and federal troops.
