Two dancers perform on a red stage before ornate gold-carved wooden panels with lattice windows and carved animal friezes. On the left a woman in a purple blouse and striped skirt with flowers in her hair moves with raised hands. On the right a man in a black top, white shawl and red-and-gold skirt with a red sash strikes a pose with bent arms. The setting suggests a classical dance performance.
