A vertically oriented gum tempera and gold painting depicts two figures inside a red tent with yellow trim. On the left, a man wearing a white turban sits on a dark floral carpet writing Persian script. To the right, a boy in a red robe bows toward him. A book on a stand and a golden vessel rest on the carpet. The scene is enclosed by a wide, speckled pink and gold border.
