Detailed Description
A rectangular painting features a central scene framed by text panels at the top and bottom. The top panel contains three lines of black script on a yellow background, and the bottom panel has two lines of similar script. The main image area has a red background. In the upper left, a dark blue, irregular cloud-like shape is present. Above the right side of the scene, a white, ribbed parasol-like structure is depicted, with a dark, elongated, snake-like form to its left. Three figures are arranged in the lower-left and central parts of the red background. On the far left, a light-skinned figure with dark hair, adorned with a green veil and a patterned red and white skirt, sits on a patterned cushion. Their hands are raised. Kneeling in front of this seated figure is a blue-skinned figure with dark hair, wearing a yellow wrapped garment around their lower body and a white head covering. This figure's hands are also raised towards the seated figure. To the right of these two, a standing light-skinned figure with dark hair, wearing a patterned skirt and a yellow top with visible jewelry, extends their right hand towards the seated pair. To the right of the standing figure, a red bed with black legs and a white mattress is positioned against a dark green backdrop. A small, white, swaddled figure lies on the bed. The artwork employs flat colors and distinct outlines.
