About this work

This painting shows two women in an indoor courtyard. One sits cross-legged on a colorful rug, wrapped in a blue veil, while the other holds a fan and wears a brown dress. The walls behind them have arched windows and a small balcony with a white railing. Outside, a tree and a pink tower peek over the edge. The bright colors and detailed patterns on the rug and walls stand out. The women’s calm poses suggest a quiet moment, maybe a conversation or a shared activity.
