A candlelit outdoor dining setup on a polished marble terrace at dusk, set between tall pale columns. A small round table with a white cloth and red flower centrepiece sits between two cushioned cream-upholstered settees. On the floor, a large circular arrangement of red, orange and white rose and marigold petals surrounds a shallow stone bowl filled with floating red petals and lit candles. Many small oil lamps and candles line the terrace. Behind is an illuminated palace with domes and turrets against a deep blue evening sky. No people are visible.
