Two adorned figures, one dark-skinned and one light-skinned, seated in a multi-colored arch
Detailed Description
Within a rectangular painting, two elaborately adorned figures are seated on a cushion, framed by a multi-colored arch against a red background. The figure on the left has dark reddish-brown skin and is seated with legs crossed, facing forward. They wear a golden crown with red and green accents, large gold hoop earrings, multiple gold necklaces, armbands, bracelets, and anklets. Their lower body is covered by a red and gold patterned skirt or dhoti. The right hand is raised with fingers in a specific gesture, while the left hand rests on the left leg, holding a thin, dark object. Their eyes are downcast or closed. The figure on the right has light yellow-gold skin and is seated with legs bent, leaning against the darker figure. Their right arm is draped over the darker figure's shoulder. This figure also wears a golden crown with green and red elements, their hair tied up, along with gold earrings, necklaces, armbands, bracelets, and anklets. Their left hand is held in a gesture, possibly holding a small, light-colored object. Their eyes are open, looking towards the darker figure. A small blue flower with green leaves is visible to the right of the lighter figure's head. Both figures sit on a white cushion with horizontal red and green stripes, which rests on a base composed of wavy blue and red shapes. Behind the figures' upper bodies is a dark blue, heart-shaped halo. The framing arch consists of concentric bands of blue, green, yellow, and red, outlined in black, all set against a textured red background. The entire composition is bordered by a reddish-brown edge.
