Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical rectangle framed by a thick, plain gold border. The scene depicts two figures in an outdoor setting with architectural elements and a background landscape. In the upper portion, a light blue sky with a few small white birds is visible. To the left, a light gray building with a yellow and white domed roof stands against the sky. To the right, a large, dark green tree with dense foliage rises, with a tall, slender palm tree visible behind it. Below the sky, a reddish-brown wall with a crenellated top extends across the middle ground. To the left, a red-walled room with an arched doorway is visible. Inside this room, a patterned bed or platform with yellow and orange stripes and a dark gray pillow is present. The doorway has intricate dark brown panels with star-like motifs. In the foreground, a man and a woman are seated on a white, oval-shaped rug with a subtle pattern, which rests on a green floor with a hexagonal tile pattern. The woman, on the left, wears a dark blue top, orange pants, and jewelry, with her dark hair pulled back. She is seated with her legs bent, her left arm raised, and her right hand near her lap. The man, on the right, wears a purple patterned tunic, light-colored pants, and a turban. He is seated with his legs bent, facing the woman, and his right hand is placed on her left leg. His left hand rests on his own leg. At the very top of the gold border, there is a line of black text composed of distinct characters. On the right side of the gold border, there is a smaller vertical line of text also composed of distinct characters.
