Man and woman on a patterned swing bed inside a building, under a starry sky
Detailed Description
The painting depicts a man and a woman seated on a swing bed within a multi-story building, framed by a wide red border. In the lower center, the couple sits on a patterned yellow and white mattress with two dark, round cushions. The man, on the left, wears a white tunic, light purple pants, and a green turban, with a dark mustache. He faces the woman, his right arm around her, and his left hand near her face. The woman, on the right, wears a gold and red patterned garment, with dark hair pulled back. She faces the man, her right hand near his face, and her left hand on her chest. The swing is suspended by two dark ropes from a white canopy adorned with a repeating floral pattern. Below the swing, a white and purple patterned railing extends across the width, with two white steps in the center. Above the couple, the building continues with white walls and various windows. On the left, a red sloped roof covers a section with a yellow-grille window and two white-framed windows featuring hanging red teardrop shapes. Below this, three windows have dark green frames and dark red interiors. On the right, another section of the building has a large yellow-grille window with a dark green frame. Decorative patterns in red and white adorn the rooflines and balconies. The top of the painting shows a dark blue sky dotted with small white stars.
