The artwork shows a couple seated on a terrace, surrounded by attendants and musicians. The couple is positioned centrally, seated on a richly decorated rug, with the woman holding a small instrument or object, and the man sitting beside her. They are dressed in traditional, elaborate clothing with intricate patterns. Around them, attendants and musicians are engaged in various activities, playing instruments or sitting attentively. The terrace is bordered by a low fence, and beyond it, a landscape with trees and a river is visible under a cloudy night sky. The building beside the terrace has detailed architectural features. The entire scene is framed by a border decorated with colorful floral motifs and ornate patterns.
