About this work

This painting depicts a serene scene of a woman sitting on a couch, surrounded by lush greenery. She is dressed in a flowing pink robe with a white collar and a red headband, and is holding a long green tube attached to a hookah. A man stands beside her, wearing a blue robe and a red cap, and is holding a golden cup. The atmosphere is tranquil, with the woman gazing off into the distance and the man looking down at the cup. The setting appears to be a peaceful outdoor space, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The painting's use of watercolor and gouache creates a soft, dreamy quality, drawing the viewer into the serene world of the scene.
