About this work

This painting shows four figures standing on a bright, flower-covered carpet. The sky behind them is light blue with fluffy clouds, and a white railing separates them from a green landscape. One person holds a red parasol, while the others wear colorful robes and headgear. The figures seem to be in a garden or courtyard, with careful attention to bright colors and intricate patterns. The painting looks like it’s from a book or manuscript page, framed in black and gold. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
