Framed miniature. The miniature depicts a young woman talking to an older man 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 is clear in this work, but there is also an idealization that can be related to the taste for the exotic that flooded art in the 19th century and that was reflected in works with themes of landscapes and scenes considered typical of the Arab world by Europe.
