Detailed Description
This two-panel artwork features three figures against a gold background, framed by a narrow green patterned border and a reddish-brown outer frame. On the left panel, a tall woman stands, facing slightly right, with her hands raised to her head as if adjusting her dark hair or a headpiece. She wears a long, flowing robe in shades of reddish-brown, dark brown, and white, with a blue sash visible. To her right and slightly in front, a smaller figure, possibly a child, kneels on the ground, facing left. This figure wears a red garment and has dark hair. On the right panel, a man sits on a low, dark brown stool or cushion, facing left. He wears a dark brown robe and a dark cap, and has a visible beard and mustache. He holds up a small, rectangular portrait with both hands, gazing at the image of a woman's head and shoulders. A dark, round object rests on the ground near his feet. The gold background shows a grid pattern and surface variations.
