Pember and Luzander

National Gallery of Art

The image displays four individuals, with one person lying on a bed. The individual on the bed is shown from the waist up, with their head on a pillow, wearing a white head covering and white clothing. Three other individuals are standing next to the bed. One person is bending over the individual on the bed, with gray hair, wearing a green coat with a black pattern, a pink waistcoat, yellow knee-length pants, and black boots. Another person, standing farther away, has white hair and wears a long green coat. The fourth person, seated on the left, has a feathered headdress, a red band, and a white garment with a red lining and a medallion. This person is holding a pipe. In the background, there are draped curtains with fringe and a decorative circular emblem featuring stars and potentially an eagle emblem. A wooden window or paneling can be seen behind the curtains.
