About this work

This painting shows four people in a bright courtyard. A woman sits on a low wall, talking to a man kneeling beside her. Another man holds a fan, while a fourth plays a stringed instrument. The background has a tree, a building with arched windows, and a dome-shaped roof. The flat colors and simple shapes suggest it’s from a long time ago. The border is decorated with red flowers and swirling patterns. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more paintings like this.
