Detailed Description
A painting on a gold background depicts five women in a garden or courtyard setting, featuring architectural elements and flowering trees. The gold background, possibly gold leaf, covers most of the surface. In the upper left, a branch with white flowers extends into the frame. In the upper right, a dark-framed building structure, possibly a window or door, shows more white flowers within its opening, and a piece of red fabric hangs from its right side. A dark, ornate border runs along the top edge. In the middle ground, five women are arranged around a dark, low rectangular table or platform. To the left of the table is a large, dark, textured rock formation. Two women are seated on the table. The woman on the left wears a flowing red robe and has her hair styled up, with her right hand raised. Next to her, a woman in a green robe is also seated on the table, facing right, with her hair styled up. Behind these two, a third woman stands, wearing a white robe with a red sash, holding a dark fan. To the right of the table, two more women are standing. The woman closer to the table wears a white robe with a blue lower garment and a red sash, and she appears to be placing or arranging something on the table. Behind her, partially obscured, stands another woman in a white robe with a red sash. All the women have dark hair styled in elaborate updos. A blue-green railing or wall runs horizontally behind the women, with some dark foliage visible above it. The lower portion of the painting continues the gold background, with faint, dark, rocky forms at the very bottom.
