Description
- Abstract:
- One man kneels before another as a third man turns away. Porch setting, with trees. Very little ornament and no calligraphy. Tender expression between figures. Two standing male figures may be princes. The scene is particularly realistic, with virtually no ornament, detail or symbolic divisions of spaces.
- Notes:
- Physical Description: Painting is in excellent condition. Pigments appear stable. Some slight areas of pigment flaking, but these are not widespread. Details of the figures are well preserved. Possible repainting of green tone in bushes and tree, as there are modulated tones here with no areas of flaking.
