The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a woodland setting. The scene features four figures. The figure on the left wears a beige or light-colored outfit, appears to be child-sized, and faces right. The central figure wears a long, red garment and a head covering, and faces forward. The figure on the right appears to be a seated, adult-sized person wearing a green garment and a white head covering. The figure furthest right is obscured, and appears to be wearing a white head covering. The four figures are positioned on a dirt path. The dirt path is lined with green trees, bushes, and plants. The background features a brown, rocky cliffside or mountain. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown, green, beige, and red. The painting is rectangular in shape and elongated horizontally. The painting's surface appears aged, with noticeable wear and tear.
