Detailed Description
This artwork depicts a scene across two vertical panels, set against a shimmering gold leaf background. The left panel features a tall, dark, multi-tiered shelf filled with various objects. On the top tier, there are two stacks of books with red spines, alongside a dark tray holding a small white cup and a reddish, ornate object. The middle tier holds a large stack of books, the topmost book having a light blue spine, and a smaller stack of books. Also on this tier is a brown vase containing pink flowers and green foliage, and several rolled items. The bottom tier holds a dark feather, a light-colored rectangular object, and a small drawer with a dark handle. The right panel shows a woman seated on the floor, leaning against a large, rectangular red chest. The chest has a textured, patterned surface. The woman wears a light-colored, possibly white or cream, robe with dark trim. Her dark hair is visible, and her head rests on her right arm, which is propped on the red chest. The gold background behind her is largely empty. A blue border with a repeating pattern frames the entire two-panel artwork.
