This painting shows two figures in a room with bright colors. A woman in red and pink sits on the floor near a doorway, holding a fan. A man in yellow stands outside, holding a flower branch with white blossoms. The walls are plain, and the floor has a patterned rug. The man’s blue face might hint at a story from Hindu tradition. The painting’s bold colors and simple shapes feel lively but not overly detailed. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
