Detailed Description
This painting depicts two figures embracing in a lush garden, framed by a decorative border. In the center, a blue-skinned figure with a golden crown and light green and orange garments holds a white garland. They embrace a lighter-skinned figure wearing an orange and red patterned skirt and a golden top, who also holds a white garland. Both figures stand on a green, grassy area dotted with small plants. The surrounding landscape features large, undulating green hills densely covered with flowering trees and shrubs. On the left, a prominent tree with pink and red blossoms extends upwards. On the right, another tree with pink flowers hosts a peacock on one of its branches. Numerous other peacocks and smaller birds are scattered throughout the foreground and background, some on the ground, others perched among the foliage. In the upper background, a sunset sky with bands of orange, red, and light blue is visible between two prominent green hills. The entire central scene is enclosed by a wide, dark red border adorned with intricate gold floral and leaf patterns.
