Detailed Description
The scene is set in a lush garden with architectural elements. In the central right, a man with a dark beard and mustache, adorned with a gold crown and elaborate jewelry, sits on a large, yellow patterned rug. He wears a dark patterned robe over a lighter garment. Beside him, a woman in a pink patterned dress and jewelry sits, holding a small object. A smaller figure lies on the rug between them. To the man's left, a tall, red and gold vessel with a long hose stands. Behind him, a female figure holds a large green fan. To the right of the seated couple, a woman in a yellow dress holds a stringed instrument, with two more women in red and green dresses standing nearby. Behind these figures, a white building with red roofs and two yellow domed structures on top is visible, featuring windows on its facade. The upper left and middle left sections are filled with a dense, green garden, featuring tall trees with large leaves, some resembling banana or palm trees. Numerous female figures are distributed throughout the garden. Some are playing musical instruments, including stringed lutes and drums, while others appear to be dancing or standing nearby. One woman in a red dress sits on the ground playing an instrument, and another in a yellow top and red skirt dances. Several figures are partially obscured within the foliage, some appearing to float or fly among the leaves. The bottom of the painting features a decorative border with floral patterns in red, green, and blue against a light background, centered by a small, grey, rectangular panel with an indistinct image. The sky above the garden and building is a dark blue.
