Detailed Description
The painting depicts two figures seated on a large, stylized tiger skin rug against a vibrant yellow background. A dark brown border frames the entire scene. The tiger skin, predominantly yellow with black stripes, stretches across the lower half of the image, with its head facing left and its tail curving to the right. Its four paws, each with visible claws, extend outwards. On the left, a male figure with light skin sits cross-legged on the tiger skin. He has dark hair styled in a topknot, a white crescent-shaped mark, and a circular mark on his forehead. He wears a white garment wrapped around his lower body, a white fabric strip around his waist, and multiple necklaces, including a long string of beads. His right hand rests on his knee, holding a string of beads, while his left hand is raised slightly. To the right, a female figure with lighter skin sits facing the male figure. She has dark hair, a nose ring, earrings, and a small red dot on her forehead. She wears a green blouse and a red striped skirt, with a green veil draped over her head and shoulders. Her right hand is raised, palm open, while her left hand rests on her lap. Between the two figures, on the tiger skin, is a cross-shaped game board made of brown squares. Small white and red game pieces are arranged on the board. Two stylized trees with dark green, rounded foliage and light brown trunks flank the figures. The tree on the left has two main clusters of leaves, while the tree on the right has three. A wavy, dark brown ground line runs along the bottom edge of the yellow background.
