Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts two figures, an adult and a child, standing under a flowering tree against a light tan background. In the upper left, a thick tree trunk rises, from which a large branch extends horizontally across the top half of the image, adorned with numerous clusters of small white blossoms. Below the main branch, smaller green leaves are visible on thinner branches. The taller figure, positioned on the right, faces left with a light complexion and an elaborate dark hairstyle. They wear a long, dark robe with a red and white patterned hem, and a light brown wide sash with a circular design. Their hands are partially visible, holding the fabric of their garment. To the left and slightly in front of the adult, a smaller figure, a child, also faces left. This child has a light complexion and wears a dark robe with red and gold accents and a patterned hem, along with a dark, ornate headpiece. The background behind the figures and tree is a uniform, light tan color.
