Brief Description
Multiple robed figures in architectural settings with a gold background, across two distinct scenes
Detailed Description
The artwork features two distinct scenes set against a textured gold background. The left scene, partially visible, shows an interior room with a blue and white checkered floor. A figure in white and red robes sits on a green mat, while another figure in a brown and gold patterned robe lies on the floor. A dark roof structure is visible above these figures. The right scene is divided into two levels. The upper level depicts an interior room with a green floor and patterned walls. Three figures are seated: a central figure in a blue patterned robe, a figure to the left in a red robe, and a figure to the right in a blue robe. Green plants are visible behind them. The lower level of the right scene shows a wooden veranda extending from a building with sliding doors. Two figures are seated on the veranda, one in a red robe and one in a white robe. A small pine tree with green needles and a brown trunk grows beside the veranda. Below the veranda, stylized green and blue shapes appear to represent a landscape or water.
