Detailed Description
This artwork depicts two figures seated on a large, light-colored cushion against a plain, light brown background. The figure on the left is smaller, with light skin and hair styled in two prominent buns. They wear a red robe with black trim over light-colored pants and dark boots. Their left hand is raised near the instrument, while their right hand rests on their lap. Their face is turned towards the other figure. The figure on the right is larger, with darker skin and a dark, pointed hat adorned with red and green accents. They wear a light green robe with red trim over light-colored pants and dark boots. This figure holds and plays a stringed instrument with an octagonal body, which is decorated with a light brown, intricate pattern. Their face is turned towards the smaller figure, with the corners of their mouth slightly upturned. Both figures are seated closely together, facing each other slightly, on an irregularly shaped, light gray cushion that features several darker gray circular patterns. To the lower left of the cushion, a small, dark brown, three-legged vessel with a lid is visible, alongside a smaller, light brown pitcher. To the upper right of the cushion, another three-legged vessel with a lid, light gray in color, rests on the background.
