This painting shows a stone wall with four statues carved into it. The wall is gray, and the statues are sitting on a low bench. Each statue has a different headdress, and they all have their hands on their laps. There is a small stone block in front of the statues, and some rocks are scattered around it. The painting is done in a style that makes the statues look very detailed and realistic. The artist used a lot of shading to make the statues look like they are made of stone. The background of the painting is a solid color, which helps the statues stand out. The painting is part of a collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
