About this work

This painting shows two figures sitting under a big tree. The person on the left wears a red-and-gold outfit and sits on a decorated cushion. The person on the right has a blue-gray face and dark clothes, kneeling with one hand resting on the ground. In the background, there’s a white elephant and a building with arches. The bright colors and bold outlines make the scene stand out. The tree’s leaves are packed tightly together, and the figures look calm and connected.
