About this object

Five figures gather under a canopy attached to four poles. The central figure is a young man in green leggings, gold mantle, and a red cloak thrown over his shoulders. He is holding hands with a young woman in a white tunic over a gold skirt. A girl in a green tunic looks on from the left and two others from the right. This may well be a scene from a fairly tale.
