Brief Description
A woman in yellow stands as a man kneels before her, amidst figures, a ruin, and sea
Detailed Description
An outdoor scene shows numerous figures, a large stone ruin, and a distant seascape under a light blue sky. In the center, a woman in a flowing yellow gown stands, facing a man kneeling before her. Her gown is voluminous, with a white collar and cuffs. The kneeling man wears a red cape over dark clothing and a feathered hat, extending his hand towards her. To the left of the central figures, several individuals are gathered around a large, covered cart. One man in the foreground is crouched, seemingly arranging items on the ground, including a metal plate. Another man stands near a table with a white vase. Further back, a crowd of figures, some wearing turbans, observe the central figures. In the far left background, a calm sea with faint landmasses is visible under the horizon. On the right side of the scene, a tall, weathered stone ruin dominates the background, partially overgrown with dark green foliage, possibly palm trees. Two figures, one in a blue tunic, stand near the woman, holding the train of her yellow gown. A small, light-colored dog stands near their feet. Further right, more figures are visible, some with red accents in their clothing. A long pole with a large, flowing red fabric is angled across the upper right sky, extending from behind the ruin. Several small birds fly in the upper left sky. The ground is a sandy, earthy color.
