Detailed Description
The painting depicts a large group of figures, predominantly women, gathered around a central male figure within an open pavilion. The background is a plain, light tan color. The pavilion roof is a flat, dark brown band with a thin orange stripe and a black railing pattern above it, supported by thin black vertical lines. In the center, a man stands facing right in profile. He wears a white robe, a red turban with a black plume, and a sash across his chest. He holds a long, thin staff in his right hand. His skin is light brown, and he has a dark mustache and beard. To the left of the man, a dense group of women stands and kneels, facing him. They wear various colored garments, including orange, yellow, blue, and striped patterns, with many having dark hair and light skin. Some women hold small bowls or dishes, while others extend their hands towards the man. One woman directly behind the man holds a large, dark, fan-like object with white dots. To the right of the man, another group of women is arranged similarly, standing and kneeling, also facing him. Their clothing features similar colors and patterns, including light blue, green, and striped fabrics. Several women on this side also hold small bowls or dishes, or have their hands raised or extended towards the central figure. The figures are depicted with simple, stylized features.
