About this work
A young woman with closed eyes and a flower in her hair plucks a cluster of golden pipes shaped like a harp, flanked by two bearded men: one in a tall jeweled miter and crimson robe holds an inscribed tablet, the other in a white turban and salmon robe raises a flaming trumpet; a winged griffin lies at their feet on a tiled floor, with unreadable gilded script covering the violet wall behind them.
Gold, crimson and lavender dominate the palette, with strong outlines and flattened, tapestry-like drapery folds; light picks out the pale skin and the metallic instrument against the deep purple ground, and the hieratic poses and closed eyes lend the scene a hushed, ritualistic quality.
