DescriptionThough the image has many figures, two are highlighted by different color palettes; in the lower right corner a male figure clothed in a white robe with an orange sash squats to the ground, his right arm extended with his finger drawing on the ground. The other highlighted figure is a standing female figure on the left being held by a male figure. The women's skirt blends with the drab colors of the other figures, however her white blouse and orange headscarf, echo the crouching male figure. The grouping of other figures in the background are all clothed in dull shades of taupe and green and appear in movement as arms are flung out with pointing fingers by several of the figures.On View
