About this work

This painting shows a group of people sitting on a balcony. The man in the center wears bright orange and gold. Two women sit beside him—one holds a fan, the other leans in. A servant stands to the side. Behind them is a building with arches and domes, painted in soft blues and whites. The bright colors and curved shapes make the scene feel lively. The edges of the paper are worn, showing age. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
