Detailed Description
A painting depicts two figures, one carrying the other, in a room with a fishbowl and a stand, all against a plain, light tan background. In the center, a darker-skinned figure, facing left, carries a lighter-skinned figure on their back. The carrying figure wears a patterned hat with red and green accents, a green and white tunic, white pants, and red and green striped leg coverings with sandals. A curved weapon with a red handle and a tassel is strapped to their back. The figure being carried wears a red top and white pants, with their arms around the neck of the carrying figure. Their hair is styled in a topknot. To the left, a large, clear, round fishbowl sits on a dark, ornate, four-legged stand. Inside the bowl, several red and white fish swim. To the right, a smaller, ornate, light-colored pedestal or stand with a fluted top is visible. A red square seal with illegible characters is present in the bottom right corner of the image.
