Detailed Description
Three figures are positioned in the foreground against a backdrop of a garden and a stone castle. On the left, a man with dark, curly hair is seated, facing right in profile. He wears dark, reflective armor over red sleeves and dark trousers, with his bare feet visible. Small blue and yellow flowers are near his feet. In the center, a woman with long, flowing reddish-brown hair stands, facing forward. She wears a long, light-colored gown, possibly silver or pale gold, with dark blue cuffs, and is playing a small, dark wooden pipe organ with her right hand. To the right, an angel-like figure with reddish-brown hair and large dark wings is seated, leaning against the organ. This figure wears a flowing red robe and a green leafy wreath on its head, with eyes closed. The figures are situated on a low, light-colored stone ledge, in front of which a variety of red, yellow, and purple flowers bloom. Behind the figures, a lush green lawn extends towards a large, grey stone castle complex with multiple towers and arched doorways. Several small, light-colored shapes, possibly sheep, are scattered across the lawn. The sky above the castle is a muted blend of light orange and grey.
