Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts two children leaning over a large, round basin in the lower half of the frame. The background is a textured, muted brown with a subtle golden hue, occupying the upper two-thirds of the composition. The child on the left wears a sleeveless garment with red and blue accents and has a light complexion with a dark topknot. They are positioned with their torso visible, leaning forward, and appear to be holding a thin line or stick over the basin. The child on the right, also with a light complexion and a dark topknot, wears a green, long-sleeved garment and is crouched, reaching one hand into the basin. The basin itself is dark, possibly brown or green, with faint decorative patterns along its exterior. Inside the basin, several small, light-colored fish are visible, along with a miniature structure resembling a boat or house. Below the basin, in the foreground, are various plants. On the left, a cluster of tall, slender green leaves with prominent pinkish-red flowers rises from a dark, organic mass. On the right, smaller white flowers with dark centers are scattered on the ground. The palette is earthy and subdued, with the figures and plants displaying the most prominent colors against the dominant brown background.
