Figure descriptions
A group of women and girls gather indoors for evening prayer. They wear matching,
flowing, light-coloured dresses. The
women appear to be leading the girls in prayer. At the left side of the foreground,
a woman stands surrounded by multiple
kneeling girls, some of whom clasp their hands together in front of their chests.
The woman holds a small book and gestures with one
hand as she looks down toward the girls. In the background, five older girls gather
around a table; they all kneel and some of
them clasp their hands in front of their chests while bowing their heads. A woman
stands at the right side of the table and leans
over while holding an open book in her hands. A dog sleeps in the bottom-right corner
of the illustration. There is furniture,
including a set dining table, in the room and frames decorate the walls. In the background,
long draping curtains frame an unfocused
view of a bookcase. Pottery sits on top of the bookcase and a chandelier hangs from
the ceiling.
