Group of Two Seated Figures

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two seated figures. The two male figures are sitting cross-legged. The figure on the left has his right elbow resting on his right knee and his chin resting on his right hand. The figure on the right has both hands resting on his lap. Both figures have their hair tied up in a bun on top of their heads and are wearing robes. The figure on the left appears darker and more opaque than the figure on the right, which appears lighter and more translucent. The background is a plain gray color. The surface the figures are sitting on is white and reflective.
