About this work

This painting shows a group of people sitting on a terrace by a fountain. The women wear bright, patterned clothes and sit on cushioned seats, while one stands holding a fan. Behind them, a white building with arches and trees sits in a garden. The sky is dark, but a yellow moon hangs above. The bright colors and detailed patterns suggest this might be from a royal or wealthy home. The scene looks calm, with no signs of hurry or worry.
