Brief Description
Two figures, one kneeling and one standing, under a golden canopy, against a blue background
Detailed Description
The image is a vertical rectangular painting with a deep blue background, framed by a red border on the left, right, and bottom. A golden canopy structure spans the top of the composition. The canopy is a multi-layered, rectangular element in shades of gold and brown, featuring intricate patterns. It has a row of small, inverted U-shaped elements along its lower edge, above which is a band of horizontal lines and small, dark shapes. On the left side of the blue background, a figure with dark brown skin kneels on a low, brown, rectangular platform. This figure has a black beard and long black hair extending down their back. They wear a white, dotted lower garment, a white necklace, and white armbands and earrings. Their hands are raised and pressed together in front of their chest. A red mark is visible on their forehead, and their eyes are wide with a pointed nose. A leafy, flowering plant stem with red blossoms rises vertically behind this figure. To the right, a standing figure with light brown skin faces left, towards the kneeling figure. This figure wears a patterned pink and gold lower garment, a long white necklace, and white armbands and earrings. Their hair is pulled back into a bun. They hold a small, rectangular object, possibly a book, in their raised left hand, and a dark, slender object, possibly a stick or brush, in their right hand, which extends downwards. A red mark is on their forehead, and their eyes are wide with a pointed nose. Between the two figures, on the ground, is a small, brown, footed bowl. Below the kneeling figure's platform, a small, dark rectangular object rests on the ground. A small, red, flame-like or plant-like element is visible near the standing figure's feet.
