Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical rectangular painting framed by a thick, solid red border. The scene is divided horizontally into two main sections. The upper section depicts an indoor setting with a central figure seated on a large, pink-cushioned white platform. This figure wears elaborate white and gold robes, a dark green turban, and has a halo of light around their head. They have a dark mustache and hold a small object in their hands. To the left of the central figure, two male attendants sit on the floor, dressed in patterned robes and turbans, looking towards the central figure. To the right, a third male attendant stands, holding a long, green, feather-like fan over the central figure. The background features light-colored walls with arched doorways, decorative pillars, and small, ornate windows with colorful patterns. A golden railing runs along the bottom of this upper section. The lower section of the painting depicts an outdoor garden. It features a grid-like pattern of light brown pathways interspersed with square patches of bright green, leafy plants. In the center of this garden, a dark, rectangular pool or fountain is visible, containing dark, wavy shapes. Two dark gray elephants stand facing each other on the pathway, positioned just below the central seated figure. The overall color palette includes light creams and browns for the architecture, vibrant greens for the plants and fan, rich reds and pinks for cushions and clothing, and accents of gold.
