Brief Description
Two robed figures, one standing and one seated, in an outdoor setting
Detailed Description
The image depicts two figures in an outdoor or courtyard setting, rendered in black, white, and various shades of gray, with a textured, aged appearance. On the left, a standing figure faces right, wearing a light-toned, long-sleeved robe with a dark, V-shaped collar. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and her hair is styled in a dark, elaborate coiffure on top of her head. The lower part of her robe features distinct vertical pleats. To the standing figure's left, a large, dark, ornate vase stands on the ground. Below the vase, a lighter, barrel-shaped object with two oval cutouts is visible. On the right, a second figure is seated on a low, dark bench or platform, facing left. This figure wears a dark-toned, long-sleeved robe with a lighter, possibly patterned, collar or trim. Her hair is also styled in a dark, elaborate coiffure. She appears to be holding a rectangular object, possibly a book or tablet, in her hands. The lower part of her robe also shows vertical pleats. In the background, behind and between the figures, faint outlines of a tree or foliage are visible, particularly above the standing figure. A low wall or structure with irregular dark markings, possibly indicating stones, extends across the middle ground.
