The scene of a conversation between two lovers is set within a bedchamber, golden curtains pulled up. The heroine sits on the bed, with three long-necked wine vessels on the wall behind her. A brass ewer for washing with water is on the floor behind the bed. Men applied fragrant black pastes to their underarms.
