This painting shows three people in a bright, colorful garden. A man sits on a yellow cloth, holding a woman’s hand while she kneels beside him. Another woman crouches nearby, arranging food on a tray. The background has a white building with red pillars and peacocks perched on the roof. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene feel lively. The man’s bare chest and the woman’s striped dress stand out against the green grass and red walls.
