This painting shows two people sitting on a red-and-yellow couch, holding a small bird between them. The man wears a purple shirt and a mustache, while the woman has a red sari and a head covering. Behind them, a wall with small domed towers and green plants lines the top edge. Notice the bright colors and the way the figures sit close together, almost touching. The bird looks calm in their hands, like they’re sharing a quiet moment. If you like this style, look up Baroque next.
