Detailed Description
Five figures and a small white dog are in an interior room with dark green patterned wallpaper. A woman in a light pink dress sits centrally in a red-backed chair, facing slightly left. She holds a closed, light-colored fan in her right hand and looks down towards a small white dog at her feet. Her dress features white lace trim at the neckline and cuffs, and its voluminous skirt spreads around her. To her left, a man kneels on the floor, wearing a long, mustard-yellow robe. He reaches towards the small dog with his right hand, holding a small red object. Behind the seated woman, two men stand. The man on the left has long white hair and wears a grey, long-sleeved coat with a wide collar and decorative vertical fastenings. The man next to him has dark, curly hair and a darker brown garment, leaning slightly forward. To the right of the central woman, a woman with a dark cap sits in a red-backed chair, dressed in a dark, long-sleeved robe. She holds a white object in her lap and looks towards the central woman. The room's background features dark green wallpaper with a lighter green floral or damask pattern. On the far left wall, a framed portrait of a man in a red robe hangs. On the far right, a bed with green drapery is partially visible, next to a small table covered with a patterned textile and a book. The floor is a plain brown.
