Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts three figures against a solid light blue background, framed by a brown border. At the top center, text in an unfamiliar script is visible, along with the number "3" towards the upper right. In the center, a man with dark skin, a mustache, and a dark red and yellow striped turban sits cross-legged on a throne-like structure. He wears a gray tunic with a subtle floral pattern, red trim, and a red sash. His right hand is open and extended towards the left, while his left hand is clenched. He sits on a purple cushion, which rests on a yellow and red striped base with black tassels hanging from its sides. To the man's left, a woman with dark skin stands facing him. She wears a yellow short-sleeved top, a red shawl, and a patterned skirt with a striped lower section in red, yellow, and white. She holds a gray bowl containing three yellow, round objects, offering it towards the man. She has white bangles on her forearms and large hoop earrings. To the man's right, another woman with dark skin stands facing him. She wears a light purple short-sleeved top, a red shawl, and a patterned skirt with prominent yellow and red horizontal stripes. She holds a yellow and brown fan-like object with a handle, raised in her right hand. She also wears bangles and hoop earrings. All figures have large, dark eyes and prominent noses.
