Detailed Description
This arched-top painting features two human figures and several animals in a landscape setting. On the left, a woman with dark hair wears a striped headscarf and a long red dress with a gold-colored belt. She sits on the ground, her left hand near her chest, and her right hand raised, holding a small, light-colored object. Behind her, a light-brown camel with a bridle faces right. To the right, a bare-chested man with curly dark hair sits facing left, his legs bent. He holds a small, light-brown deer across his lap, with arrows visible beneath the deer. In the foreground, a variety of animals are arranged around the figures. To the left, a spotted, light-colored animal, possibly a lamb or goat, looks towards the viewer. A light-brown rabbit sits to its right, facing right. Further right, a large, light-brown lion with a mane faces left, its mouth slightly open. Below the lion, a small, dark-colored animal is visible. Another dog-like animal is positioned to the right of the man, facing left. The ground is green and grassy, and in the upper background, a few sparse, dark green palm-like trees are visible against a light blue sky.
