About this work

This painting shows two women in a garden. One sits on a low stool in bright yellow, playing a small flute while holding a pink rose. The other stands beside her, dressed in a long brown robe with blue stripes, holding a fan. Behind them, a tall tree blooms with white flowers, and a hookah sits on a small table to the left. Two birds stand on the ground near a fountain. The women’s clothing and the garden setting suggest a peaceful, private moment, possibly inspired by poetry or music. The bright colors and detailed patterns stand out against the soft blue sky. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
