About this work

This painting shows a bright, busy scene with people dressed in colorful clothes. In the center, a man with a blue face sits on a raised platform, surrounded by women in long dresses. Above him is a fancy building with a red roof, and below, two women kneel on the ground. The background has trees and a yellow sky, while the edges are framed in orange and green. The women seem to be offering something to the seated figure, who looks important. The colors are bold—reds, greens, and blues stand out against the light background. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more paintings like this.
