This image is an 18th-century miniature painting depicting an indoor scene set in what is contextualized as Ortabatumi, Georgia. Two men are seated, facing each other, engaged in an exchange. The figure on the left is younger, with a dark beard and mustache, wearing a tall, dark conical hat with an ornate band. He is dressed in a dark patterned cape or robe over a striped red and black garment, and red trousers, with a dagger visible at his waist. He sits cross-legged on a green patterned rug, his right hand extended towards the other figure in a gesture of reception. The figure on the right is older, distinguished by a long white beard, mustache, and shoulder-length white hair. He wears a dark, flat-topped hat and a long, dark robe. He is seated on a dark cushion or bench, extending both hands forward to present a rectangular object, likely a book or document, to the left figure. Georgian script is legible on the cover or pages of this object. The background features dark red drapery, suggesting a tented interior or a richly decorated room. A fluted white column with an ornate capital stands between the two men.
