Four people in rust-orange and maroon robes walk along a pale sandy riverbank beside a wide green-blue river, with a steep dry hillside behind. A bald man on the left holds a bright orange umbrella on a long silver pole over his shoulder; a woman with glasses and a red-and-gold garland follows beside him. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears a maroon shawl with gold borders and walks beside a shaved-headed companion carrying a small object. The scene suggests an outdoor procession along the riverside at dusk.
