To her left, a woman in a green robe stands, while to her right, another woman in an orange robe sits. The scene is set against a red backdrop with a gold frame. In the foreground, a lion lies on the ground, and several children are visible. The painting features a mix of colors, including red, blue, white, and gold. The overall atmosphere appears regal and symbolic. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting.
