Detailed Description
A rectangular painting depicts a bustling scene with numerous figures and architectural elements. On the left, a multi-story building with arched windows and a light-colored facade rises. In front of it, a group of figures, including one in a flowing orange robe and another in white, stand near a bed. A figure lies on the bed, covered by a white sheet, with the word "DAPHNE" visible in gold lettering on the bed's side. Behind the bed, a cluster of people, some with elaborate headwear and richly patterned garments, are positioned around the bed. A figure with a long white beard and a golden crown wears a robe with "DAVID" inscribed in gold on it. A solitary figure, cloaked in dark brown, sits on the ground in front of the bed, facing away. On the right, a large building features a red, domed roof, a triangular pediment with a small bust, and a portico with tall, light-colored columns. Beneath this structure, a group of figures in varied, colorful attire, including red hats, patterned tunics, and leggings, stand facing left. The overall palette includes muted reds, oranges, golds, browns, and whites, set against a backdrop of light-colored buildings and a greenish-blue sky.
