This painting shows a bright, two-story building with people inside. On the lower level, three figures play music—one sits on a red carpet with a lute, another stands in a red dress near a doorway, and a third plays a long wind instrument. The upper level has a balcony with a tree and a white stand holding candles. The walls are decorated with simple patterns, and a shelf holds three white jars. The colors are bold: reds, yellows, and greens stand out against the muted background. The figures look like they’re performing together, but each has their own space.
