Two figures in an interior, one standing in a patterned garment, the other seated reading
Detailed Description
A black and white image depicts two figures in an interior setting. On the left, a standing figure is visible from the waist upward, with their back partially exposed. They wear a dark, intricately patterned garment that drapes around their lower body and left arm, leaving their right shoulder and back bare. Their left hand is raised to their head, appearing to adjust their dark, styled hair. Their gaze is directed downwards. Behind this figure, a low, dark railing extends horizontally. On the lower right, a second figure is seated on the floor, facing left. This figure wears a lighter, subtly patterned garment and holds an open book in their hands, appearing to read. Their dark hair is also styled. To the left of the seated figure, on the floor, are a small, dark teapot and a single cup. In the background on the right, a tall screen with a grid-like pattern is visible. The upper portion of the image features a plain, light background. The top and bottom edges are framed by a dark border with a repeating floral or geometric pattern.
