Brief Description
A two-tiered painting depicts men in long garments and head coverings, some seated, others on horseback
Detailed Description
The painting is divided into two main horizontal sections, depicting groups of figures in a landscape. The upper section features a large, leafy green tree with a brown trunk, centered against a light blue sky and green ground. Under the tree, three prominent men are seated on a patterned white and black rug. The man on the left, with dark skin and a mustache, wears a white tunic and turban and holds a long red object. To his right, a man with lighter skin and a beard, also dressed in white, holds a small object. On the far right, a larger man in a green tunic and white turban sits. Several other men, dressed in white tunics and turbans, stand around these seated figures, some holding fans or weapons. A horizontal band of brown and white patterned bricks separates the upper and lower sections of the composition. The lower section, also set against a green ground, shows more men. On the left, a man in white stands next to a white horse with a green and brown saddle. A small brown dog is at the horse's feet. On the right, another man in white stands near a light blue horse with a patterned saddle. Other men are depicted standing or riding horses, all wearing similar white tunics and turbans. The overall color palette is dominated by white, green, and light blue, with accents of brown, red, and gold.
