Lovers and an Old Crone

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a scene with a man and woman, titled "Lovers and an Old Crone" by an unknown artist. The man stands on the left, wearing a long yellow robe with a floral pattern and a matching turban. He faces right, towards a woman partially hidden by a red curtain with a gold pattern. The woman wears a white robe and holds a staff in her right hand. A small inset image of another woman appears above them, within a decorative archway. The scene is set against a backdrop of a tree, a red fence, and a building with a red-and-white striped awning. The sky above features dark clouds and a reddish horizon. A small inset image of a candelabra appears on the ground. The color palette includes shades of yellow, red, green, white, and dark blue. The overall composition suggests a narrative scene.
