This painting shows a group of men sitting on the floor in a bright, patterned room. They’re dressed in colorful robes and hats, some reading books or talking. Behind them, a tall building with arches and a pointed tower fills the background. The walls have blue and gold designs, and Arabic writing is on the panels. The men look like they’re studying or praying together. The artist added lots of small details to the clothes and the room’s decorations. Look up Opiz, Georg Emanuel next to see more of his work.
