DescriptionThe image contains two male figures, one adult and one juvenile, standing side by side next to a small stream of water. The juvenile figure is on the left of the adult figure and is clothed in a yellow robe with a white headscarf and he carries a tall staff in his hand; the adult male figure, on the right of the pair, wears a blue robe with a white head scarf. The stream travels from the lower right corner diagonally into the central middle ground where a rustic waterwheel is powered by yoked cows or oxen. Bulrushes fill the lower left corner.
