Framed miniature. The miniature represents a young woman conversing with a man of a certain age in a garden that is only alluded to by a flowering branch that could be an almond or cherry tree. The influence of the ancient Arab miniature in this work is clear, but there is also an idealization that can be related to the taste for the exotic that flooded art in the 19th century and was reflected in works with themes of landscapes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world in Europe.
