A man and woman on a balcony above women swinging and dancing below a large tree
Detailed Description
In the upper left, a man and a woman are positioned on a balcony. The man, on the right of the balcony, faces left and has a mustache and a turban-like head covering. The woman, on the left of the balcony, faces right and wears a head covering. Their heads are turned down and to the right. Behind them, a dark, cloudy sky with faint wavy lines stretches above a distant horizon line dotted with small trees. To the right, a large, full tree with dense foliage and numerous white flowers stands in the mid-ground. Below the tree, two women are on a swing suspended from its branches. One woman is seated, facing left and holding the ropes, while another woman stands on the swing, facing right and also holding the ropes. Below the swing, four women are arranged in a semi-circle, depicted in various dancing or walking poses. Each woman holds a long, curved object, possibly a garland or a stick with a flower. All wear long dresses and head coverings. To the left, a building structure with an arched doorway forms the base for the balcony. In the foreground, a low wall or platform extends across the bottom, with small dark shapes, possibly ducks, in a pool of water.
