Image description
The image shows three individuals from the upper torso up. The person on the left is standing with their profile visible, wearing a long robe and a headpiece. They have visible facial hair and tousled brown hair. The other two individuals, a woman in the middle and a man to the right, are facing slightly towards the first person. The woman wears a red garment over a blue skirt and a head covering, while the man wears a green garment with a red lining. They stand on a green, grassy area with a red jar-like object on the ground near them. In the background, there is a hilly landscape with pink structures under a pale blue sky.
