Detailed Description
Two women stand in a garden setting. The ground is a light, sandy brown, beneath a lighter, almost beige sky. On the left, a woman stands facing right, dressed in a flowing red robe with intricate white and gold patterns. Her long dark hair is styled up, and she holds a small bouquet of colorful flowers and green leaves in her hands. Her robe trails behind her, revealing a white undergarment with red trim. Behind her, a simple wooden gate structure is visible, and green-leafed plants with white flowers grow near the ground. To the right, a second woman stands facing left, dressed in a dark, possibly black or deep green, patterned robe with white and red accents. Her dark hair is also styled up, and her hands are held open, palms up. Behind her is a low, light brown fence made of vertical slats, and beyond that, two gnarled trees with sparse green foliage. More green plants with white flowers are scattered around the scene. In the bottom right corner, a small red seal and some faint black text are visible.
