Cleveland Museum of Art

A man with a pointed beard, wearing a blue tunic and a brown cloak, embraces a woman standing to his right; several trees with green foliage, one with reddish-pink leaves and another with white flowers are behind them; A white platform with a red patterned cloth covering something on top sits in front of the trees; Arabic text written in black ink on a parchment colored background takes up the top half.
