The artwork portrays a scene inside a harem, where an elderly man plays a stringed instrument for a group of women, capturing the artist's fascination with the culture and customs of the region. The richly detailed interior, featuring patterned tiles, ornate rugs, and traditional attire, provides a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Middle Eastern elite.
