Woman by building, peacock in tree, under dark, starry sky
Detailed Description
The image depicts a woman standing next to a multi-story building, with a large tree and a peacock on the left, all under a dark sky. The upper portion of the image features a dark blue-black sky dotted with small white specks that appear to be stars. A green vine with small red flowers curves in the upper left. On the left, a dense, round green tree occupies the middle ground, with a peacock perched on one of its branches. The peacock has a blue head, a white body, and a long, dark tail. A red area is visible behind the lower portion of the tree. The central and right portions of the image are dominated by a building with white walls and red accents. The upper level of the building features two white domed cupolas with red bases, flanking a red wall with a grid pattern. Below these, red-framed windows are visible. The lower level of the building has a large arched opening. A woman stands on the left side of this opening, facing right. She wears a yellow and green striped skirt, a blue top, and a red veil draped over her head and shoulder. She holds a red cloth in her left hand and extends her right hand towards a small plant with white flowers. Inside the arched opening, a green wall is visible, with a red bed featuring a yellow fringed canopy on the right. Small decorative elements, possibly vases, are on either side of the bed. The building's base features a white railing with a wavy pattern. The bottom edge of the image features a dark blue-black band with white wave-like patterns and small white dome-like shapes.
