This painting shows a man and a woman standing side by side. The man wears a white outfit, a striped skirt, and a turban, holding a smoking torch in one hand. The woman is dressed in a bright yellow dress with gold patterns, holding a small flower. The background is a plain blue sky with a dark ground beneath their feet. The man’s belt has a curved sword tucked into it, and the painting is signed in the corner as *"A Muslim warrior."* The bright colors and simple setting make the figures stand out clearly. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
