Description: | Rendered in relatively thick colour, this scene shows a nobleman, fanned by a servant with a peacock feather fan, listening to two musicians kneeling before him. The nobleman sits cross-legged on a throne, propped against a large gold cushion decorated with red flowers. (His right arm appears from behind the cushion). He wears sea-green trousers, a transparent robe, several long strings of pearls and a pearl and red stone earring. He has a red, green and gold turban. He points towards the musicians, playing a string instrument and cymbals. Their lime green and orange robes (respectively) fasten on the left. The musician on the left has the head of an animal with a long mussel, perhaps a dog. The servant (who has two left feet) and the nobleman are on a yellow carpet decorated with red and white flowers and scrolling foliage. Behind them hang a white and a blue drape. Behind the musicians is a thickly painted mauve wall.
