Three painted figures, two facing forward and one in profile, on a damaged light brown surface
Detailed Description
The image is a fragment of a painting on a light brown, textured surface, depicting three figures arranged horizontally. The surface is heavily damaged, with large areas of the painting missing or eroded, revealing the underlying material. The overall composition suggests busts or upper torsos of the figures. On the far left, a figure with a dark brown beard and mustache is partially visible, facing forward. Only the head and upper chest are discernible. The skin is light, and the figure wears a white garment with red outlines and some blue details. The eyes are open, and the mouth is slightly open, showing teeth. Much of the left side of this figure is missing due to damage. In the center, a more complete figure faces forward, slightly turned to the right. This figure has light skin, dark hair pulled back, and wears a blue headpiece with a yellow border. Large, elongated eyes are open, and the mouth is closed. Red lines define the facial features and neck. The figure wears a red-orange collar or necklace and a garment with blue and red-orange details. Gold-colored earrings are visible. The upper torso is visible, with some blue paint below. On the right, a third figure is depicted in profile, facing left towards the central figure. This figure has dark brown hair and light skin. The eye is open, and the mouth is closed. The figure wears a green garment with red outlines and has a visible hand, possibly holding something or gesturing, though the object is unclear due to damage. The background behind this figure is a dark blue. The color palette includes light brown for the background, with figures painted in light skin tones, dark brown, red-orange, blue, green, and yellow. The painting style uses clear outlines.
