Detailed Description
The painting depicts a scene with multiple figures set against an architectural background. On the left, in the foreground, a person with light, curly hair is seated on a stack of rough brown blocks. This figure wears a long, flowing tunic with vertical light brown and gold stripes, and bright red hose on their legs. Their left hand is raised to their head, and their right arm is extended forward with the palm open, as they look upwards and to the right. Behind this seated figure, a group of three other individuals stands. One figure, slightly taller, wears a dark tunic and a dark, rounded hat, with light-colored hair visible. To their left, two other figures with light hair are partially visible, one wearing a red garment. The background on the left features a series of receding arched doorways and walls in muted tones under a dark sky. On the right side of the composition, a tall, reddish-brown building with brick-like texture dominates. An open window on the upper part of this building reveals a woman with light, curly hair, wearing a light-colored dress and a white sash draped over her shoulder. She looks towards the left, with her right hand raised near her ear or face. Below this window, a rectangular panel with a dark frame encloses a lighter, patterned surface.
