About this work

This painting depicts a group of people in a courtyard, with a woman in a pink dress standing out. She is surrounded by others, some of whom are looking at her. In the background, there are arches and a horse. The woman's dress is a vibrant pink, and her hair is dark. The others around her are dressed in various colors, including yellow, green, and red. The atmosphere seems to be one of interest or curiosity, as many of the figures are focused on the woman. The use of tempera in this painting adds a sense of depth and richness to the colors.
