About this work

This painting shows a busy courtyard with four people and a horse. A man in a long, patterned robe stands near a staircase, holding a string of beads. Two women are nearby—one sits on the steps, the other stands inside a doorway. In the background, a third woman rests on a bed, while a white horse with a red saddle stands on the ground. The scene is framed by bright colors: red borders, yellow flowers at the top, and green and orange walls. Notice the horse’s detailed saddle and the man’s jewelry—small touches that show care in the painting. The bright colors and busy scenes were common in this style.
