Brief Description
Four figures under a large tree with a basket and two rakes on the ground
Detailed Description
Four figures sit under a large tree on a light-colored ground. The tree, positioned on the left side, has a thick, reddish-brown trunk that extends upwards beyond the frame, with dark green, rounded foliage visible at the top. At the base of the tree, on the left, two small, light-skinned figures sit. One small figure with dark hair is seated, looking towards the right. To its right, another small, round figure is partially visible. On the ground below the tree, a dark, woven basket with a handle is placed to the left of the small figures. Below the basket, a dark, rake-like tool with multiple prongs lies horizontally. In the center-right of the composition, two larger figures are seated on the ground, facing each other. The figure on the left has light skin and short, light hair. This figure wears a robe patterned with brown, blue, and black hues, and extends their right hand, holding a small, reddish object, towards the other figure. The figure on the right has light skin and long, light hair, and is dressed in a robe patterned with light green, blue, and black. This figure is seated with legs folded, holding a light-colored bottle or flask in their left arm. Another dark, rake-like tool lies horizontally on the ground below the seated figures. To the far right, behind the right figure, a bundle of dark, spiky foliage or branches rests on the ground. A red, square seal with dark characters is visible in the bottom-left corner of the image. The background is a plain, light, off-white color, showing some subtle texture and discoloration.
