About this work

This watercolor shows a dim room with three standing figures and three people lying on the floor. The standing figures—one in a long blue robe, one in red and gold, and a bearded man in white—stand near a small table with a framed picture. The three people on the ground look asleep or resting, with one holding a red object. The walls are plain, and light comes from the top left corner. The bearded man holds a staff and seems to be pointing or guiding the others. The painting looks like a copy of an older work, but Kaiser made it in 1875. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
