Brief Description
Two crowned figures, one pale and one yellow, embrace on a lotus throne within a rainbow arch
Detailed Description
The square painting depicts two crowned figures in an embrace, seated on a multi-layered lotus throne. The central figure on the left has light, pale grey skin and long, flowing white hair. This figure is seated with their left leg bent and their right leg extended forward, wearing a red and gold patterned skirt-like garment. Their hands are raised, holding a red string or garland. They wear a gold crown, earrings, necklaces, and armbands. Their eyes are downcast, and a faint smile is on their face. The second figure, positioned to the right and slightly in front, has bright yellow skin and long, flowing yellow hair. This figure appears to be standing or kneeling, with their right leg bent and their left leg extended, also wearing a red and gold patterned garment. They are turned towards the light-skinned figure, with their left arm around the figure's back and their right hand holding a small, dark object. This figure also wears a gold crown, earrings, necklaces, and armbands, and has a smiling expression with eyes looking towards the other figure. Both figures are framed by a dark blue halo-like shape behind their heads and shoulders, with green foliage details on the left. The background is a vibrant red, enclosed by a multi-colored arched border featuring bands of blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. The lotus throne beneath them is depicted with blue and red petals, resting on a dark blue base with swirling patterns. The artwork features a palette dominated by reds, yellows, blues, and gold accents.
