A horizontal gum tempera and ink painting depicts a courtly scene. On our left, a man with a medium skin tone stands in a lush garden with flowering bushes. Inside a white pavilion on our right, a man in green gestures toward a seated man in purple. Three men sit on a floral rug, while a servant stands on the far right fanning them against a gray wall with small, dark niches.
