Description

Three figures are painted on a yellow/ light orange background. The three figures are positioned in the center of the piece. One person is positioned lower on the piece, with wide eyes, mouth agape, dark hair, and wearing red clothing. They are also holding a stick or staff in their hands. The other two individuals are positioned higher above the first individual, though more obscured with darker shading, making their shape and form harder to distinguish. Their limbs can be made out with light sketches on the outer edges of the figures, and their eyes are also distinguishable.
