A vertically oriented gum tempera and ink painting on weathered paper reveals figures in a courtyard. Within an elevated white balcony, a blue-skinned man and a woman with medium-light skin tone look right. Below, two women converse on our left. On our right, three women sit beneath a tree; one plays a stringed instrument. Muted mountains and white birds occupy the background beneath a dark sky with golden streaks.
