Detailed Description
Four figures are arranged in two rows, with two dogs positioned below them, against a plain light brown background. In the upper row, two figures are seated on ornate platforms, each framed by arch-like structures adorned with green foliage and white flowers. Above these arches, red and gold patterned draperies are visible. The figure on the upper left is a man with a dark beard, wearing a black hat and a black robe, holding a closed fan in his right hand. To his right, a woman with an elaborate hairstyle wears a green and orange patterned robe and holds a round mirror. In the lower row, two more women with elaborate hairstyles are seated on similar ornate platforms, also framed by arch-like structures with foliage. The woman on the lower left wears a green and orange patterned robe and plays a stringed instrument. To her right, another woman in a green and orange patterned robe sits with her hands resting on her lap. At the bottom, a red architectural structure with green patterned panels and white sections forms a railing or terrace. Below this structure, on the light brown ground, a white dog lies on the left, and a black dog lies on the right. The figures' robes feature intricate patterns in gold, red, green, and white.
